Over-treatment of cancer patients is controversial. Now big data mining of MRI images and CT scans is helping radiologists make the right diagnosis. Corporations use big data mining to find out everything from the kind of car you want to buy to your favorite holiday destination. Now, doctors are using it to make sure when somebody is diagnosed with cancer - they’ve got it right. Research from the University of Waterloo is taking speculation off the table so radiologists can more accurately

Institute for Quantum Computing researchers are the first to demonstrate an uplink to an airborne quantum satellite receiver prototype for secure quantum communication. The first radio call from PhD candidate Christopher Pugh on a Twin Otter plane alerted the research team from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) on the ground in Smiths Falls, Ontario that the receiver on the aircraft was receiving photons from the source on the ground. It was the first, crucial sign that the demonstration

Richard Yim grew up in Cambodia where the fear of stepping on landmines was part of every child’s life. As a young boy, he dreamed of inventing technology that would put an end to landmine casualties around the world. “After war, when peace comes and bullets stop flying, landmines are still in the ground,” says Yim, a new graduate of University of Waterloo Engineering. “Children shouldn’t have to be afraid to step off the beaten path. They should be able to walk to school and hike and explore
