New research from Murdoch University has revealed that Carnaby's cockatoos depend on small, fragmented patches of native vegetation to survive in heavily cleared landscapes—a finding that could play an important role in protecting the endangered species.
Anemone bleaching spurs stronger home defense and more aggression among clownfish and more — today's student signal.
Marine heat waves and anemone bleaching are altering clownfish behavior, making clownfish more defensive of their host and more aggressive toward one another, new research reveals.
Disadvantaged students are less likely than their more advantaged peers with similar attainment to take and pass entrance exams for selective schools, and introducing an opt-out system for the tests would only deliver a small boost.
Simple psychological interventions are often enough to encourage people to change their behavior—and this is also true when it comes to saving electricity. A new study by Mannheim-based consumer psychologist Dr. Yavor Paunov and colleagues shows that comparing one's own electrici
The head of Germany's Isar Aerospace voiced hope Tuesday that the company could one day overtake Elon Musk's SpaceX to become the world's premier space launch company.
Artificial intelligence use among university students is now near-universal in many countries. Yet, as of a year ago, fewer than one in five universities in a 90-country UNESCO survey had a formal AI policy.
The collective memory of floods and droughts influences where people settle, how they build and how they prepare for the next climatic extreme. Over decades, that memory can fade, and communities may return to places that once proved dangerous. How such memory decayed over centur
Even among plastics labeled "biodegradable," some break down readily while others persist for long periods. In experiments using landfill leachate, a collaborative research team led by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) demonstrated these differences a
The doctoral dissertation of Yazid Albadarin, MSc, entitled "Capturing the impact of generative AI on higher-order thinking, creativity, and cognitive dynamics during debugging" will be examined at the Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, Joensuu campus.
Ocean risks are already severe and worsening, with the potential to become catastrophic without a change of course, according to a new report from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), the University of Exeter and The Ocean Race.
The university experience has changed drastically since artificial intelligence (AI) became widely available four years ago.
Disadvantaged students are less likely than their more advantaged peers with similar attainment to take and pass entrance exams for selective schools, and introducing an opt-out system for the tests would only deliver a small boost.
A new tool that uses detailed satellite images to help unlock Australia's mineral wealth has been unveiled.
Scientists have discovered that the intricate patterns of hair follicles on mammals may arise from a remarkably simple process involving cells following chemical signals. The findings challenge a long-standing theory and reveal how nature can create complex biological patterns wi
Pictorial reading supports, such as icons, can help people with aphasia better comprehend the material and enjoy the reading process. But exactly what type of icon is most helpful?
The Antarctic ozone hole expanded to its seventh-largest size on record in 2026, driven by unusual weather conditions that pushed it close to its historic maximum. Scientists say international restrictions on ozone-destroying chemicals prevented even greater damage, and Earth's p
Rip currents remain one of Australia's deadliest beach hazards, contributing to 47% of the 66 beach drowning deaths recorded in the 2025 National Drowning Report.
Ancient manuscripts, including the 1,000-year-old York Gospels, have revealed traces of a deadly sheep virus whose history stretches back more than 3,700 years. Scientists discovered that the virus has remained remarkably unchanged for millennia, turning historic parchment into a
Around 1,800 years ago, over 9,000 bones, mainly from frogs, ended up in an Iron Age/Roman gully near Cambridge. When archaeologists first dug them up, speculation soon followed. Were these the remains of a Roman frog feast or perhaps the skeletal aftermath of a ritual?
New research from Murdoch University has revealed that Carnaby's cockatoos depend on small, fragmented patches of native vegetation to survive in heavily cleared landscapes—a finding that could play an important role in protecting the endangered species.
India's air pollution monitors were overwhelmed this week by toxic smog so severe that concentrations exceeded their upper measurement limit, equivalent to 66 times the World Health Organization's recommended daily maximum, regulators said.
Drug companies maintain large libraries of chemical compounds that can be screened for potential use in the development of new pharmaceuticals. One class of these compounds, sulfonamides, is used in antibiotics and in drugs to treat type 2 diabetes, hypertension and inflammation.
Sea lions, marine mammals belonging to the eared seal family, have to dive to search for food and other resources. Between dives, however, they return to the surface to breathe and recover.
