Dogs can smell explosives like landmines, and detect medical conditions including seizures, diabetes, and many forms of cancer -- with up to 98% accuracy. Inventor Andreas Mershin wants to ...
Additionally, larger dogs have a better sense of smell than smaller dogs. [7] A dog's nose is significantly colder than their body temperature. This makes it more sensitive to thermal radiation. Dogs can thus detect even weak levels of warmth. [8] Dogs are able to smell from birth and develops during the first two weeks of their life.
The World Today was an early morning news and current affairs radio programme on the BBC World Service, launched in 1999, and broadcast from 3:00 to 8:30 (GMT) daily as of 2011.

Their vision is said to be better than some mammals, such as cats, dogs or wallabies. [224] Despite their excellent vision, worker ants of this genus find it difficult to find their nests at night, due to the difficulty of finding the landmarks they use to navigate.
Then, other ants follow suit, with more pheromones released, creating a more refined path. Which then attracts even more ants. Lather, rinse and repeat, and pretty soon an optimal path is forged ...
Tapinoma sessile is a species of small ant that goes by the common names odorous house ant, sugar ant, stink ant, and coconut ant. [1] Their colonies are polydomous (consisting of multiple nests) and polygynous (containing multiple reproducing queens).
Fire ants can navigate floods and flowing water by morphing into a floating raft. It’s the same principle that sticks Cheerios together in your cereal bowl.
Formic acid can also be obtained by aqueous catalytic partial oxidation of wet biomass by the OxFA process. [28] [29] A Keggin-type polyoxometalate (H 5 PV 2 Mo 10 O 40) is used as the homogeneous catalyst to convert sugars, wood, waste paper, or cyanobacteria to formic acid and CO 2 as the sole byproduct. Yields of up to 53% formic acid can be ...
