Battery breakthrough: researchers improve performance of rechargeable water-based cells. An advance in 19th-century technology could offer a cheaper, more eco-friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries. ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/… #CdnPSE @UAlberta

AI tool predicts real-world applications for newly discovered materials. U of T Engineering researchers plan to integrate their predictive tool with self-driving lab technology, which use AI and advance robotics to accelerate discoveries in chemistry and materials science.…

Plus que des messagers : les nanoparticules qui transportent les médicaments peuvent aussi participer au traitement. Une équipe de recherche de l’Université d’Ottawa a prouvé que les nanoparticules peuvent contribuer au traitement des maladies complexes en plus de transporter…

Ancient viruses in our DNA may hold clues to what makes us human. New method for tracing viral DNA through evolution uncovers hidden sequences with gene-regulating potential, prompting a closer look at the human genome 25 years after it was first mapped. mcgill.ca/newsroom/chann……

Des virus anciens présents dans notre ADN détiendraient-ils la clé de notre humanité? Une nouvelle méthode d’examen de l’ADN viral conduit à la mise au jour de séquences cachées au possible potentiel régulateur, d’où la nécessité de réexaminer le génome humain 25 ans après sa…
