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
Back in April, Amii and @UAlberta launched Vulcan, a high-performance compute site that is set to advance AI and the discovery of novel solutions in Alberta. The initiative is a key part of the Pan-Canadian AI Compute Environment project. Read: hubs.ly/Q03yYJCG0
Enjoyed a great tour of the Canadian Centre for Welding and Joining this afternoon. Darren Fast and I were impressed by your unique facilities and the groundbreaking work happening there. It was a pleasure to learn about the excellent research you're doing.
U of A researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to design a blueprint for building a vaccine that aims to teach the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Learn more: ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/…
The antidote to burnout in health care? Promote joy on the job. Workplace autonomy, relationships and positive leadership help health-care workers — and the benefits ripple out to patients, U of A researchers find. Learn more: ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/…
Dr. Marghalara Rashid (pediatrics) led a U of A study that found promoting joy in medical workplaces — including universities and teaching hospitals — can combat burnout, improve staff retention and improve patient outcomes. Read via Folio: bit.ly/3H0JZbx
Great article by Darren Fast on how to create win-win university-industry partnerships. He outlines how collaborations can strengthen universities, give students real-world experience and turn research into impact. timeshighereducation.com/campus/how-cre…
To reap the benefits of industry-academia collaborations, researchers and higher education institutions need to be clear about goals from the outset, understand each party’s differences and communicate: timeshighereducation.com/campus/how-cre… @UAlberta #highered 'academia
📣 #EarlyCareerResearchers! Learn about high-quality review and the #PeerReview process. Apply to the Fall 2025 Reviewer in Training program by August 6: cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/52291.html?h…
We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Professor Margriet Haagsma, the Canadian-Hellenic research team and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Larissa on the opening of their new museum and its inaugural exhibit.
Insect-based protein is a low-cost, eco-friendly alternative for supplying a nutrient the world needs — but even that’s not enough to make people reach for it, University of Alberta research suggests. Read more: ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/…
The cricket ick factor: sustainability not a selling point for bug-based snacks. New research provides food for thought on the challenges of convincing people to consider eating insects. 🦗 #UAlberta ➡️ bit.ly/3IsbKKK
U of A engineering researchers lead the design and manufacturing of advanced materials for small modular nuclear reactors. Far smaller and cheaper than conventional power plants, next-generation reactors could provide clean energy to rural communities.
Imagine a world where even the most remote communities have access to sustainable, reliable energy. With small modular reactors (SMRs), that future is closer than ever. U of A engineering researchers are at the forefront of designing advanced materials that will make SMRs even…
Congratulations to Suzanne Tank, Canada's 2025 Frontiers Planet Prize national champion!
