| Teaching young wolves new tricks: Wolves are considerably better imitators than dogs Posted: 31 Jan 2014 05:34 AM PST Although wolves and dogs are closely related, they show some striking differences. Scientists have undertaken experiments that suggest that wolves observe one another more closely than dogs and so are better at learning from one another. The scientists believe that cooperation among wolves is the basis of the understanding between dogs and humans. |
| Diagnosis just a breath away with new laser that advances breath analysis for disease diagnosis Posted: 31 Jan 2014 05:32 AM PST Physics researchers have developed a new type of laser that will enable exciting new advances in areas as diverse as breath analysis for disease diagnosis and remote sensing of critical greenhouse gases. |
