U of T Engineering researchers have built a set of magnetic ‘tweezers’ that can position a nano-scale bead inside a human cell in three dimensions with unprecedented precision. The nano-bot... Read more
U of T Engineering researchers have demonstrated proof-of-principle for a device that could serve as the backbone of a future quantum Internet. Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo (ECE, Physics) and his... Read more
A new U of T Scarborough study suggests that globally we’re growing more of the same kinds of crops, and this presents major challenges for agricultural sustainability on a global scale. The... Read more
Detections of FRBs at low frequencies also provide a new clue to the astrophysical puzzle A Canadian-led team of scientists has found the second repeating fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorde... Read more
Researchers at the University of Toronto and UC San Francisco have discovered that the intestine is the source of immune cells that reduce brain inflammation in people with multiple sclerosi... Read more
Donnelly Centre researchers have uncovered a genetic network linked to autism. The findings, described in the journal Molecular Cell, will facilitate developing new therapies for this common... Read more
This eye disease often leads to blindness — which might be prevented by early intervention The team headed by Dr. Jacqueline Reinhard and Prof. Dr. Andreas Faissner from the Department... Read more
Each time you upload a photo or video to a social media platform, its facial recognition systems learn a little more about you. These algorithms ingest data about who you are, your location... Read more
A new technology from U of T Engineering is taking a substantial step towards enabling manufacturers to create plastics out of two key ingredients: sunshine and pollution. Today, non-renewab... Read more
A new technique developed by neuroscientists at U of T Scarborough can, for the first time, reconstruct images of what people perceive based on their brain activity gathered by EEG. The tech... Read more
A new catalyst created by U of T Engineering researchers brings them one step closer to artificial photosynthesis — a system that, just like plants, would use renewable energy to convert car... Read more
New biomaterial developed by U of T engineering researchers could be delivered through minimally invasive surgery A team of U of T engineering researchers is mending broken hearts with an ex... Read more
Many people living with dementia reside in long-term care facilities, where the lack of stimulation can result in behaviors such as hitting, screaming, and wandering. Common measures to avoi... Read more
University of Toronto and Baycrest Rotman Research Institute (RRI) scientists have discovered a potential brain imaging predictor for dementia, which illustrates that changes to the brain’s... Read more
