Ants perfected farming 30 million years ago in the desert

Apr 21, 2017
Turns out we humans aren't the only farmers on our planet! Ants are farmers too, growing crops of fungus in their nests in the soil. Entomologists at the National Museum of Natural History, part of the Smithsonian family of museums in the United States, just recently discovered that these amazing little ant societies have been growing domesticated varieties of fungus for 30 million years! You can learn more about the life beneath the soil at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museums Soil Lab!

Atoms-thick layer of silicon-based semiconductor may allow us to better understand the harsh environments of Venus

Apr 21, 2017
In 1967, Venera 4 was the 1st probe to transmit data from another planet’s atmosphere. 8 models, and close to 15 years, later we were able to receive the 1st colour panoramic views of that same planet’s surface. Today, Venus still very much remains a mystery with probes unable to withstand the extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressures for more than 127 minutes. However, researchers at Standford University’s Extreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory are working on developing an atoms-thick

Looking at Earth at Night

NASA has released new composite images of the Earth at night. The images were all taken with the VIIRS instrument aboard the Suomi NPP satellite (an imager that orbits around Earth's poles). While the images are breathtaking, I'm more excited for what's coming next: later this year, NASA will be releasing DAILY data dumps from the night lights project. Meaning... scientists/anyone will be able to study the light/energy uses around the globe on a daily basis. I love data.

Sault Ste. Marie: The alternative energy capital of North America

You’d think a small town in northern Ontario had no business being this continent’s most forward city in terms of alternative energy production. But the truth is, the relatively young town of Sault Ste. Marie is a continental leader in green and renewable energy. This all because of how in recent years the municipal government began investing in a wide range of energy projects. The city is home to Essar Steel Algoma, which is responsible for much of the employment in SSM and is the largest

Dr. Christine Noronha specializes in developing pest management strategies to reduce insecticide use in agricultural crops in Atlantic Canada. Her innovative research has a direct impact on farming activities and provides farmers with cutting edge technologies. She developed the Corn Borer Crusher, a mechanical device to crush potato stems and the larvae of the European corn borer hiding inside when the potatoes are being harvested. Controlling this insect was difficult because once the larvae

There is no magic bullet, no single solution that will address the massive global energy inequities that leave billions of people with little or no access to electricity. Instead, change will come from connecting the ideas, innovations and experience of some of the world’s top minds. Next-generation batteries are an emerging market with unlimited potential — and University of Waterloo chemistry professor Linda Nazar is eager to see her team’s extraordinary labours pay off.
