Well-Meaning Dogs Led Astray by Rule-Defying Owners
University of Adelaide

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.

Surprising spin offs of slowing down wind turbines
University of Adelaide

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.

Silicon chip propels 6G communications forward
University of Adelaide

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.

Bridging the chasm between technology and clinicians
University of Adelaide

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 whatā€™s known as the ā€˜AI chasmā€™.

University of Adelaide

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 Menā€™s Health, led by the University of Adelaideā€™s 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.
