A wildlife photographer's camera trap in Kenya's Maasai Mara caught endangered rhinos, elephants, and a rarely seen antelope using a hidden forest crossing. The discovery is helping rangers track elusive species and protect vital wildlife corridors.
Camera traps in western Tanzania captured the first footage of rare servaline serval kittens in the country, delighting researchers studying Africa's wild cats. The discovery highlights how much we still have to learn about the continent's wildlife.
Silent cameras in India's forests are capturing animals scientists thought had vanished, from the world's smallest wild cat to high-altitude predators sharing hunting grounds. The images are rewriting what we know about where rare species actually live.
A wildlife biologist in Costa Rica set up camera traps to monitor animal paths and discovered something unexpected: ocelots and crocodiles using the spots as favorite napping locations. The adorable footage shows a young ocelot returning several times a month to snooze in the same tree groove.
After 15 years of camera traps in Malaysian Borneo, scientists finally captured stunning images of the elusive Sunda clouded leopard and discovered surprising secrets about how these rare cats live. The breakthrough helps protect a vulnerable species that spends most of its time hidden in the rainforest canopy.
Scientists just proved that endangered Baird's tapirs weren't destroying cassava crops in Honduras after all. The real culprits? Cottontail rabbits.
Scientists recorded the entire breeding cycle of wild macaws using a single camera trap in Peru's rainforest. The footage reveals how artificial nest boxes could help save these stunning birds as their natural homes disappear.
Camera traps in Costa Rica's dry forests are recording stunning birds hundreds of miles outside their known ranges, rewriting what scientists thought they knew about these elusive species. Wildlife biologist Vincent Losasso's patient monitoring is revealing that nature's boundaries are far more flexible than our maps suggest.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.

South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Researchers created a smartphone attachment for under $7 that detects hidden cameras in hotel rooms and rentals in just five seconds. The invention solves a growing privacy problem with technology anyone can afford.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Finland's Kordelin Foundation is handing early career researchers €45,000 grants to turn their doctoral work into real-world impact. The program supports fresh PhDs exploring everything from groundbreaking research to startup ventures.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
