Compassion, trust and person-centred care must be at the heart of supporting people experiencing suicidal distress, according to a leading Adelaide University suicide prevention expert.
Living human cells will launch aboard a European research rocket next month as South Australian researchers use space to investigate cancer in a radically different environment.
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and digital technology plays a larger role in Australia’s defence, developing people with the skills to protect critical systems is becoming a national priority.
Dogs trained in scent detection may be better at sniffing out the right smell after breakfast, with new research finding hungry dogs that are working for treats are more likely to falsely identify the wrong scent.

Scientists recently discovered various Denisovan remains in Southwest China dating back to the late Middle Pleistocene, including the first Denisovan radius—one of two long bones in the forearm. Denisovans are a genetically identified archaic hominin group believed to have been widely distributed across Asia. However, due to the limited number of fossil remains, especially postcranial bones—those

Extreme heatwaves disrupt life in soil. Soil bacteria that produce and resist antibiotics switch into survival mode, temporarily reducing the number of resistance genes. At the same time, heat and drought are causing significant damage to soils and ecosystems, especially in cold, wet regions such as the Netherlands. This is evident from a large-scale European study by soil ecologist Franciska de Vries (University of Amsterdam) and colleagues.

While most Australians assume the ivory trade ended decades ago, Adelaide University research has found an active collectors' market exists online, with most listings showing no proof the items are legal.
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.
Judges are often accused of sitting in an ivory tower. Wrongly accused, says Nienke Doornbos, associate professor of Sociology of Law at the University of Amsterdam. She researched courtroom culture in civil cases, focusing on the role of judges. ‘It is important for the acceptance of the judiciary that people feel heard.’
