Adelaide University researchers have developed a breakthrough way to observe what is happening inside electronic chips while they are operating — without touching them, taking them apart, or switching them off. The new technique uses terahertz waves, a safe and non-ionising form of electromagnetic radiation, to detect tiny movements of electrical charge inside fully packaged semiconductor devices. ...

The rocks beneath our feet are leaving a hidden signature in the shells of marine snails along Australia’s coastline, according to new research led by Adelaide University scientists. A study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B reveals that neodymium (Nd) isotope ratios in abalone shells reflect the age and type of continental rocks along southern Australia, providing new possibilities f...

Cisco and Adelaide University have launched a new partnership to boost AI and Cybersecurity research and education, which includes creating a Cisco Research Chair in AI Cybersecurity. The partnership will benefit students, researchers and industry by focusing on world-leading AI Cybersecurity research, education and training capabilities.

Researchers have demonstrated how an on-demand autonomous shuttle bus system could significantly improve transport efficiency in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, reducing travel times and making it easier for commuters to connect with major transport hubs. An Adelaide University study has explored how driverless shuttle buses could operate in the Mawson Lakes area, linking local destinations such as th...

An Adelaide University researcher is leading a PhD project examining health challenges of orangutans in rehabilitation centres in Indonesia to improve long-term outcomes for the guardians of the forest. “Orangutans, like the other great apes, are threatened with extinction, and this is mainly caused by anthropogenic pressures such as habitat loss, poaching and diseases,” said veterinarian Dr Fransi...
