Co-op + entrepreneurship = Waterloo innovation
The University of Waterloo has long been renowned for entrepreneurship and innovation and for providing co-operative education (co-op) and work-integrated learning at scale with impact. Dr. Margaret Dalziel and Nada Basir, both professors at the Conrad School of Business and Entrepreneurship, conducted a study into the mechanisms behind this success, revealing that co-op plays a pivotal role in shaping the ventures of student entrepreneurs.
Turning seawater into fresh water through solar power
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun.
Concept neurons are the building blocks of memory
Bonn researchers clarify the function of specialized nerve cells in memory formation. Specialized nerve cells in the temporal lobe react highly selectively to images and names of a single person or specific objects.
How to Live 400 Years
An international research team has decoded the genome of the longest-lived known vertebrate: the Greenland shark. It is huge and has special repair capabilities.
Researchers drill down on mine waste monitoring using drones and sensors
University of Queensland researchers are developing new ways to monitor mine waste using drones and ground sensors to improve safety and land rehabilitation across mine sites.
How the Butterfly Got Its Pupa
A research team of scientists from Freie Universität Berlin and Princeton University provide insights into the origins of complete metamorphosis in insects.
Wearable brain imaging device shines a light on how babies respond in real-world situations
A new technology that uses light waves to measure activity in babies' brains has provided the most complete picture to date of functions like hearing, vision and cognitive processing outside a conventional brain scanner, in a new study led by researchers at UCL and Birkbeck.
UCL releases animal research statistics alongside fellow top institutions
UCL is releasing its animal research statistics today in collaboration with Understanding Animal Research - a non-profit that promotes open communications about animal research.
Prostate cancer: New AI model can prevent unnecessary prostate removals
Surgical removal of the prostate to treat prostate cancer is currently determined on the basis of tissue sample analysis (Gleason grading). As this method is invasive and often unreliable, scientists around the world are looking for alternatives.
Foods with low Nutri-Scores associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases
L'alimentation serait responsable d'environ 30% des décès dus aux maladies cardiovasculaires. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in Western Europe, accounting for 1/3 of deaths in 2019.
Fundamental Knowledge for Sustainable Energy
A team of researchers from Jena and Ulm have developed an innovative approach to precisely influence the properties of light-absorbing materials, so-called chromophores. They focused on specific iron compounds, demonstrating that small changes in their chemical structure can control how these compounds react to light. The findings that were promoted by German Research Foundation have been published in the prestigious "Journal of the American Chemical Society".
