Nine species of sea snakes have now been identified as having regained the genetic requirements for advanced colour vision, demonstrating that once a complex trait has been lost to evolutionary time, it may be regained in some way.
A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks ā the heaviest known fundamental particles ā it regularly creates a property known as magic.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have discovered that a protein which mediates the transport of alkali metal ions, such as potassium, and halides ions across plant membranes acts similarly to a protein found in animals.
A new publication by a national collective of researchers has highlighted the potential for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in identifying women with increased breast cancer risk. The piece, published in Trends in Cancer, explores how AI can help clinicians to better identify features on a mammogram that indicate a high risk of developing breast cancer.
A new study from the University of Adelaide has revealed key markers that influence how commercial behaviour is perceived by courts, clarifying the line between legal and illegal conduct in commercial law.
While good dogs never mean harm, they are often directed to remain on-lead in nature reserves to protect wildlife. Research from the University of Adelaide has found that whether dog owners follow this rule is mostly driven by social factors.
A new study estimates that more than 9000 insects and other native invertebrates have become extinct in Australia since European arrival in 1788 and between 1ā3 additional species become extinct every week.
Chickens have been a mainstay in Australian backyards for generations. New research from the University of Adelaide reveals that owners see their chooks as a blend between pet and livestock as well as a trustworthy source of produce.
The time frame defining "protracted displacement" by the United Nations may need to be significantly shortened, according to a new study on internally displaced persons (IDPs) which suggests earlier support is needed for affected communities.
The cost effectiveness of wind farms could be significantly improved by reducing the speed of wind turbines that are clustered together, which could improve their longevity and also reduce noise pollution. Ā A team of researchers from the University of Adelaide led by Dr Rey Chin looked at the operation conditions of wind turbines, investigated those conditions relative to power output and performance, and how turbines interact with each other.
A team of scientists has unlocked the potential of 6G communications with a new polarisation multiplexer.
Terahertz communications represent the next frontier in wireless technology, promising data transmission rates far exceeding current systems.
By operating at terahertz frequencies, these systems can support unprecedented bandwidth, enabling ultra-fast wireless communication and data transfer. However, one of the significant challenges in terahertz communications is effectively managing and utilising the available spectrum.
The team has developed the first ultra-wideband integrated terahertz polarisation (de)multiplexer implemented on a substrateless silicon base which they have successfully tested in the sub-terahertz J-band (220-330 GHz) for 6G communications and beyond.
While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical diagnosis is growing, new research by the University of Adelaide has found there are still major hurdles to cover when compared to a clinician. In a paper published in The Lancet Digital Health, Australian Institute for Machine Learning PhD student Lana Tikhomirov, Professor Carolyn Semmler and team from the University of Adelaide, have drawn on external research to investigate whatās known as the āAI chasmā.
Adelaide researchers are calling for general practitioners to take a more proactive approach towards addressing erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), in light of new findings suggesting these conditions may be linked to underlying cardiometabolic disorders. A study, recently published in the Journal of Menās Health, led by the University of Adelaideās Professor Gary Wittert and Dr Sam Tafari from SA Health with funding from The Hospital Research Foundation Group, highlighted the importance of screening for urinary symptoms in men.
Researchers from the University of Adelaide advise that more caution should be exercised for the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in educational contexts. This comes after a new study highlights key differences between modern technology and important ancient philosophy in education.
A genetic diagnostic method using a small sample of skin from the upper armĀ could identify rare neurodevelopmental disorders in a non-invasive way, according to researchers at the University of Adelaide.
Australians are expressing strong support for the European Union (EU) particularly the EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) despite negotiations collapsing last year, according to a new survey by the University of Adelaideās Institute of International Trade (IIT).
Baby oysters rely on natural acoustic cues to settle in specific environments, but new research from the University of Adelaide reveals that noise from human activity is interfering with this critical process.
A new study by researchers from the University of Adelaide and several US universities has found solutions journalism could play a part in re-engaging disenchanted media students, strengthening their reporting skills, and increasing recruitment into the profession.
A new study of coral reefs in Papua New Guinea shows ocean acidification simplifies coral structure, making crucial habitat less appealing to certain fish species.
