Nearly two-thirds of Australian children surveyed in a recent study have received at least one form of grooming-related communication from a stranger online in the past year, while almost one-third reported receiving direct requests for sexual information or interactions.
New research from Adelaide University has found people who have more realistic understanding of shark behaviour, have a more positive view towards their conservation.
New research involving more than one million Australian feedlot cattle has found that the strongest predictors of death from bovine respiratory disease (BRD) are established before animals even enter the feedlot, highlighting the importance of preventive measures on source properties.

Honey bees have long been the model species for studying insect vision. However, new research shows that several smaller bee species might actually have sharper eyesight.
A new program from the Adelaide University’s Computer Science Education Research (CSER) Group will upskill teachers in the ways of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
A desire to drive change in Australia’s response to children experiencing violence, abuse and neglect led Natasha Stott Despoja AO to accept the role of chair of the Advisory Board for the Australian Centre for Child Protection (ACCP) at Adelaide University.
Around one in four heart surgery patients develop serious lung complications – but a new Adelaide-led study is testing a simple bedside scan that could predict who is most at risk before symptoms appear.

Hydrogen could help store renewable energy and power fuel cells, but storing it remains difficult because hydrogen gas has a low density under everyday conditions. Compressing it to high pressure or cooling it into a liquid requires substantial energy and specialized equipment. Solid materials that absorb or adsorb hydrogen offer an alternative, but finding materials that store enough hydrogen, re
What does it mean when a young person seems to know the difference between right and wrong, but still repeatedly crosses the line? For professionals working with adolescents who display problematic or transgressive behaviour, such contradictions can be difficult to understand and assess. New research from the University of Amsterdam suggests that one reason may be that conscience is not a single, fixed characteristic. Instead, it is a dynamic system in which several psychological abilities need
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was created to prosecute those responsible for some of the worst crimes committed during the Balkan wars of the 1990s. But there was also an expectation the Tribunal would help to establish the historical truth about what happened – and why. New research from the University of Amsterdam shows that it succeeded far better at the first task than the second. Petar Finci will defend his PhD dissertation on the subject at the UvA on

Recently, the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made progress in research on multifunctional electromagnetic wave absorbing superstructures. The team proposed a machine learning-assisted "material-structure-function" collaborative design strategy, using fused deposition modeling 3D printing technology to integrate the polyamide 6/carbon fiber composite (PACF) absorbing unit, low-loss pure polyamide 6 (N-PA) spacer layer and laser-induced PACF (LI-PACF) functional backplane to build a superstructure with multi-level resonant gradient impedance, achieving broadband and wide-angle microwave absorption from 2 to 40 GHz, with both structural load-bearing and electrothermal de-icing capabilities.
As schools return for a new academic year, experts have been taking a closer look at what strategies and interventions could be used to make a difference Their new study has reviewed and analysed evidence from 61 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The research , which has just been published in the Journal of E

The review will comprise two parts: Part One, to be led by Nazir Afzal OBE, will examine the University’s support of Professor Arday; Part Two will comprise a broader review of institutional processes and practice related to his appointment and time at Cambridge. The reviews will not seek to investigate areas which are the subject of the inquest process.
