Fast Belly Flop: Researchers reveal cricket frog’s unique skill
Graduate researcher Talia Weiss observes cricket frogs. Credit: Jake Socha. Can frogs walk on water? Some species have captivated observers with their ability to jump from side to side from the surface of a pond or soar into the air as if the water were land. One such breed, native to Virginia and North Carolina, is the cricket frog. The…

Decades of observations reveal secrets of Antarctic fast ice
Fast ice near the shoreline of McMurdo Sound. Seen here in December 1990. Among other roles, such ice protects continental ice from ocean waves and provides an important base for research. Credit: Michael Van Wort/NOAA, Public Domain Sea ice that lasts for at least 15 days and is anchored to the coastline is called “fast ice.” Around Antarctica, fast ice…

Universal barcodes enable fast small molecule synthesis
Commonalities outline a roadmap to rapid analysis. Credit: Nature (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08211-4 The development of molecules to study and treat diseases is increasingly burdened by the time and specificity required to analyze the vast amounts of data generated by synthesizing large collections of new molecules. It’s taking place. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital present a new solution to…
