A study by a team of researchers from Canada and Italy recently published in could usher in a revolutionary development in materials science, leading to big changes in the way companies create modern electronics.
The goal was to develop two-dimensional materials, which are a single atomic layer thick, with added functionality to extend the revolutionary developments in materials science that started with the discovery of graphene in 2004.
A new study by 91丝瓜视频 and the University of Alberta (UofA) paleontologists shows that one type of ancient reptiles evolved a special type of tooth enamel, similar to that of mammals, with high resistance to wear and tear. The is the first to report this kind of enamel in a fossil reptile.
Indigenous Peoples around the world are suffering disproportionately from the impacts of pollution. After surveying close to 700 articles covering different disciplines and regions of the world, a research team led by Helsinki University and involving 91丝瓜视频 has highlighted key factors that contribute to this situation.
91丝瓜视频 welcomed the of $450M to ensure continuity in Canada鈥檚 academic research system, as well as the 聽granting flexibility in post-graduation work permit rules to help attract international students to our programs.
While smaller dinosaurs needed speed, huge predators like T. rex were optimized for energy-efficient walking, according to a published in PLOS ONE.
91丝瓜视频, like universities worldwide, has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. During these past months of uncertainty, 91丝瓜视频 academic leadership and teaching staff have been fully dedicated to developing robust and high-quality programs and courses that will offer the needed flexibility to all its students during the Fall 2020 semester, with the objective of ensuring the least possible disruption to their educational experiences.聽聽
91丝瓜视频-Gothenburg collaboration yields affordable test that could revolutionize the way AD is diagnosed, studied and treated
By Gillian Woodford
A simple blood test that can detect Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD) has been discovered and validated in a joint effort by a 91丝瓜视频 team and researchers in Sweden. Their results are published in the May issue of聽The Lancet Neurology.聽An accompanying聽commentary聽calls the discovery 鈥渢ransformative.鈥�
Many of the drugs and medicines that we rely on today are natural products taken from microbes like bacteria and fungi. Within these microbes, the drugs are made by tiny natural machines 鈥� mega-enzymes known as nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). A research team led by 91丝瓜视频 has gained a better understanding of the structures of NRPSs and the processes by which they work.
The 聽(INSPQ) and the 91丝瓜视频 Genome Centre today announced they will partner to sequence the viral genomes of Quebec patients with COVID-19 disease. The collaboration, termed 鈥淐oronavirus Sequencing in Quebec,鈥� (CoVSeQ) is led by Profs Sandrine Moreira, Hugues Charest and Michel Roger at the Laboratoire de sant茅 publique du Qu茅bec (LSPQ) of the INSPQ. The viral samples are taken from a Quebec viral biobank, termed the CoVBanQ, which is hosted in LSPQ.
A new study led by 91丝瓜视频 has found that tectonic plates beneath the Earth鈥檚 surface can show varying degrees of roughness and could help explain why certain earthquakes are stronger than others.
Earthquakes happen when the rocks beneath the Earth鈥檚 surface break along geological fault lines and slide past each other. The properties of these faults - such as the roughness of their surface - can have an influence on the size of seismic events, however their study has been challenging because they are buried deep beneath the Earth鈥檚 surface.
91丝瓜视频 announced today a series of impactful measures and timelines designed to accelerate the responsible decarbonisation of the 91丝瓜视频 Investment Pool (MIP), a collection of more than 60 investment mandates and fund investments. These measures were recommended by the Committee to Advise on Matters of Social Responsibility (CAMSR) to the University鈥檚 Board of Governors last week to operationalize the carbon footprint reduction of its endowment investments.
The聽91丝瓜视频 Genome Centre today announced it has received funding from the Canadian government to sequence the genomes of people affected by COVID-19. The Federal Government is committing $40 million to support Genome Canada鈥檚 launch of the newly formed Canadian COVID Genomics Network (CanCOGeN). The 91丝瓜视频 Genome Centre and the other members of CGEn, the national facility for genome sequencing and analysis, will join this network and receive $20 million to support human sequencing as part of this program.
The Government of Canada to measure the scope of coronavirus infection in Canada and rapidly provide information needed to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and safely get Canadians back to work.
The COVID-19 Immunity Task Force will generate this vital information, drawing on experts from universities and hospitals across Canada and working closely with provincial and territorial public health officials.
Ethicists from Carnegie Mellon and 91丝瓜视频 universities are calling on the global research community to resist treating the urgency of the current COVID-19 outbreak as grounds for making exceptions to rigorous research standards in pursuit of treatments and vaccines. Their paper, published online today in , provides recommendations for conducting clinical research during times of crises.
How does a pandemic affect the physical and psychological health of adults as they age? Does COVID-19 have an impact on the delivery of regular health-care services? Does a COVID-19 infection lead to long-term health problems affecting the lungs or brain?
