The Future of Food Safety: Bacterial Detection through a Smartphone

Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation

Researchers at MIT and the Max Planck Institute have developed a method for quick, on-site E. coli detection in food. While current food safety testing either requires days to complete or expensive equipment, this new method, paired with a smartphone and QR code, will make testing inexpensive and portable. The new detection process uses Janus emulsions, droplets consisting of two hemispheres of different densities. In water, the less dense, hydrocarbon hemisphere sits above the denser hemisphere

Freezers full of science

Environment and Climate Change Canada

Did you know that Environment and Climate Change Canada has not one, not two, but three time machines? They might not be fancy futuristic gadgets like the ones you see in movies—actually, they’re just freezers…lots and lots of freezers full of sediment and animal and plant tissue—but they’re time machines nonetheless. These very cool (bad pun intended) time machines—the National Wildlife Specimen Bank, the National Aquatic Biological Specimen Bank, and the National Sediment Specimen Bank—let

Decoding the Dance of the Honey Bee, in Real-Time

Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation

Since the deciphering of the honey bee ‘waggle’ in the 1920’s by Karl von Frisch, researchers have been measuring the dance-like form of communication that allows bees to convey direction and distance to a food source. While this observation process was initially manual and time-consuming – requiring humans, protractors, and stopwatches – techniques have evolved with technology. Recently, a team from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Free University of Berlin, Germany

Hector De la Hoz Siegler

Meet an Innovator: Hector De la Hoz Siegler

Professor Hector De la Hoz Siegler’s work brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘green energy’. Working to improve processes of growing microalgaes for use as alternative energy sources has led to an award winning career as a researcher. In this video presented by TELUS Spark, Dr. De la Hoz Siegler speaks about his career path and the opportunities of research in alternative energy technologies. For more information about Dr. De la Hoz Siegler’s work, visit his website at people.ucalgary.ca/

Visual Face-preference in the Human Fetus?

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

It has been shown in previous studies that newborn babies are able to recognize a "face-like" stimulus, indicating a baby is able to recognize a face very quickly. Here's a new study that seems to indicate the babies are able to do in utero as well. This would mean that the ability to recognize faces is built into the human brain.

A Sense of Fair Play in Dogs and Wolves

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Have you ever been in a situation where you and a friend/colleague both performed the same task but only the colleague got praise for it? It's frustrating isn't it? And if it happens over and over you might even stop working with them. Turns out, dogs do this too, and so do wolves. A new study in the journal Current Biology has found that dogs and wolves both have a strong "sensitivity to inequity." Funny enough, dogs actually are less sensitive to it, likely because, from a dog's point of view

Noninvasive Brain Study

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A recent study published in Cell describes a new brain stimulation technique that requires no surgical implants, even for regions of the brain towards the centre. Tests were successful in mice, and the researchers are now pursuing testing in humans. If successful, this could mean a revolution in neuroscience.

Dr. Mark Torchia and Richard Tyc, P.Eng: NeuroBlate Medical Laser Technology

Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation

For patients diagnosed with malignant brain tumours, surgery is often the recommended treatment option, but some tumors are too difficult or risky for surgeons to reach, rendering them inoperable. The introduction of NeuroBlate gives neurosurgeons a new option for treating brain tumours. The NeuroBlate System uses a novel side-firing laser-probe that can be inserted into a small incision in the skull to heat and kill tumour cells. The minimally invasive procedure is conducted in an MRI machine

'Sugar' Ray Lemieux: Sugar’s little know health benefits

University of Alberta

Ray Lemieux earning the name ‘Sugar Ray’ for his discovery of synthesized sucrose, Lemieux’s research led to improvements for leukemia and hemophilia treatments and the development of new antibiotics, blood reagents, and organ anti-rejection drugs. The research program Lemieux’s built at the University of Alberta became one of the premier carbohydrate (i.e., sugar) chemistry research groups in the world. Sugar: key to our biological processes and health Carbohydrates play a central role in how

Neutrons Assist In The Development Of Sustainable Electricity Grids

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering

With sponsorship from Tesla Motors, one ‘Gold medal’ Canadian scientist is using neutron beams in the quest to reduce the cost of energy storage technologies, which is vital for the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. Although solar panels and wind turbines abound, the inability to store the energy they produce for later use has been a major limitation on the deployment of renewable energy in electricity grids.
