People are more likely to blame violent video games as a cause of school shootings by white perpetrators than by African-American perpetrators, possibly because of racial stereotypes that associate minorities with violent crime, according to new research.
Read moreIn today's world, spaces with motion and temperature 'smart sensors' are common and generally improve our overall well-being. However, research indicated that while the information and technology exists to assist architects in designing structures that offer more efficient space and energy management, they seldom take advantage of those available resources.
Read moreResearchers have developed machine learning algorithms which can successfully identify bullies and aggressors on Twitter with 90 percent accuracy.
Read moreWhat role does fate play when it comes to the 145,000 people diagnosed with cancer each year in Australia and 125,000 people in Vietnam?
Read moreChemical engineers have traced the journey of gases through the gut while further developing a non-invasive, gas-capturing capsule.
Read moreScientists discover coral pass beneficial algal symbionts to offspring to help them cope with rising ocean temperatures. The process occurs during reproduction sans nuclear DNA. It's the first time this has been observed.
Read moreA new study adds to evidence that links potential adverse effects of taking paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) during pregnancy.
Read moreMore than 1/2 of parents say their child has probably been in an unsafe situation as a passenger with a teen driver.
Read moreAcoustics is a missing dimension in silicon chips because acoustics can complete specific tasks that are difficult to do with electronics and optics alone. For the first time researchers have added this dimension to the standard silicon photonics platform. The concept combines the communication and bandwidth offered by light with the selective processing of sound waves.
