Most female frogs don't call; most lack or have only rudimentary vocal cords. A typical female selects a mate from a chorus of males and then -silently - signals her beau. view more (2008-05-12)
Detailed echoes from inside the body
In the early days of medical ultrasound, physicians only saw shadowy outlines of the structures inside the body. Today's techniques are not only capable of providing still and moving images of very high resolution. They can be used to measure the rate of blood flow or even discern signs of hardening of the arteries: Where the walls of the blood... view more... (2003-03-11)
