Phys.org / Genetics link Angola's 'ghost elephants' to populations hundreds of miles away
For more than a decade, conservation biologist Steve Boyes searched for "ghost elephants"—nocturnal giants rumored to roam a remote, high-altitude wetland in eastern Angola. When a motion-sensor camera finally captured their ...
Phys.org / AI cuts wildlife tracking time from months to days
Artificial intelligence can dramatically speed up the painstaking work of tracking wildlife with remote cameras, cutting analysis time from months or even a year to just days while producing nearly the same scientific conclusions ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Psychedelic therapeutics; interoception and well-being; a hidden linguistic bias
This week, researchers reported that the human brain is capable of sophisticated language processing while in an unconscious state during general anesthesia. An informatics and computing professor found that the Climate TRACE ...
Phys.org / New catalyst unlocks carbon-free ammonia heat for steel, cement and chemicals
A single-atom platinum catalyst lights ammonia at 200 °C and keeps it burning steadily at 1,100 °C with low NOx, generating high-grade, carbon-free heat for steel, cement and chemicals.
Medical Xpress / New tool measures whether lactating mothers' psychological needs are being met
