If they do it right, the only thing that would maybe be from the elephant is the mitochondria. The full genome should be viable. And if you have a male DNA sample, (assuming the males are XY like humans) then you can extract the Y chromosome and double up the X chromosome to make the female. It's been a while since I studied genetics in fine detail but if the result is fertile you can still breed them, they'll just be inbred as all hell.

Did you actually read the article? "Cheap words" make up all science and literature. They explained everything they did in the article. Or do you expect them to post all their experimental data on this brief web article?

"When we detect the Stokes photon we know we have created a phonon, but we can't know even in principle in which diamond it now resides," says Walmsley. "This is the entangled state, for which neither the statement 'this diamond is vibrating' nor 'this diamond is not vibrating' is true."

To verify that the state has been made, the researchers fire a second laser pulse into the two crystals to 'read out' the phonon, from which the laser photon draws extra energy.

Happiness isn't having what you want, it's wanting what you have.
