Consumers who are conscious of their nutrition exhibit behaviours that significantly reduce food waste, even more so than those whose behaviour is driven by sustainability concerns, according to new research from the University of Adelaide.
Rising temperatures across Australia could increase the burden of mental and behavioural disorders (MBD) by almost 50 per cent by 2050, according to a new study from the University of Adelaide. The research highlights the urgent need to act now to protect mental health as the climate warms.
Communicating complex science in a way that the public can understand is crucial. A new study from the University of Adelaide reveals that in scientific societies, women are shouldering the bulk of this work 鈥� often voluntarily 鈥� due to societal expectations and a sense of duty.
A major new study has revealed that tropical forests across the Americas are not adapting quickly enough to climate change, raising concerns about their long-term resilience.
Around 98 per cent of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to extracting high-value molecules from this waste using a green chemistry approach.
Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacturing and one of the largest sources of food loss and waste in the Australian dairy sector, and the country鈥檚 food industry more broadly. Jack Hetherington, from the University of Adelaide鈥檚 Centre for Global Food and Resources, says while there are multiple high-value reuse options 鈥� such as protein powders, alcoholic beverages (beer or vodka), kombucha, and cooking stocks 鈥� his new report reveals the sector has not fully capitalised on this valuable by-product.
Polygamy 鈥� a legally or customarily recognised marriage involving three or more people 鈥� is currently illegal in Australia. However, new research suggests a way to legalise the practice without disrupting the foundations of Australian marriage law.
Researchers from the University of Adelaide have discovered that the earliest days of embryo development have a measurable impact on a person鈥檚 future health and ageing. Professor Rebecca Robker, Discipline Lead of Reproduction and Development within the University of Adelaide鈥檚 School of Biomedicine and Robinson Research Institute, co-led a team which conducted a pre-clinical trial and found that cellular processes within the egg at the time of fertilisation determine the telomere length in the offspring.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have performed the first imaging of embryos using cameras designed for quantum measurements. The University鈥檚 Centre of Light for Life academics investigated how to best use ultrasensitive camera technology, including the latest generation of cameras that can count individual packets of light energy at each pixel, for life sciences.
Chickpeas and lentils, either whole or in flour form, offer more nutritional value to the human diet than products made from oats and wheat, research from the University of Adelaide has found.
Research has found that many terrorist groups with differing ideological motivations share common ground in targeting LGBTQ+ communities.
Analysis of sedimentary ancient DNA has illuminated 6000 years of the lives of Ad茅lie penguin colonies on Antarctica鈥檚 Ross Sea coast, showing how animals in the region responded to climate and environmental change events over millennia.
Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks鈥攖he tiny particles within鈥攔espond when hit by high-energy photons. The international team includes experts from the University of Adelaide who are exploring the structure of sub-atomic matter to try and provide further insight into the forces that underpin the natural world.
Criminology and criminal justice courses need greater global reflection, inclusion from diverse stakeholders, and deviation from a US-centric approach, according to new research from the University of Adelaide.
While fear-based messaging around alcohol aimed towards teens is common practice, new research suggests a key to curbing adolescents鈥� risky drinking behaviour is through authentic and open communication that acknowledges some of the positive aspects while warning of the negative consequences of drinking.
Seeds of two native species of Plantago have been identified as producing mucilage that can be used as a natural additive to make gluten-free bread dough more elastic, resulting in fluffier loaves.
Researchers have discovered what may be the world鈥檚 oldest three-dimensional map, located within a quartzitic sandstone megaclast in the Paris Basin.
International research involving the University of Adelaide has found almost 30,000 wild species have been traded in the United States, according to data captured by US wildlife trade monitoring organisation Law Enforcement Manage Information System.
A new study from the University of Adelaide and The Australian National University (ANU) has outlined the first genomic evidence of early migration from New Guinea into the Wallacea, an archipelago containing Timor-Leste and hundreds of inhabited eastern Indonesian islands.
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.
