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

Sweet, new calf named in honour of Halloween

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Born just one day shy of Halloween, it’s fitting that the newest calf at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum is named Kandy. Kandy’s mother, Kathie-Anne, welcomed her new calf into the world at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 30. Kathie-Anne is seven years old, and Kandy is her fifth calf. “The labour lasted for two and a half hours – from the first visible signs of the calf being born,” says Jim Ness, a herdsperson for the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, adding that older cows deliver faster than

Pausing to remember the cost of Canadian freedom

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Drivers along the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway may have noticed an impressive number of Canadian flags behind the Canada Aviation and Space Museum lately. The 128 flags were erected at a Flags of Remembrance ceremony on Oct. 7, to pay tribute to the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans. Each flag represents 1,000 Canadian soldiers and RCMP killed and missing in action. The flags are a poignant display of patriotism – and a visual reminder of the cost of freedom.

Honeybees feel the sting of mystery toxic exposure

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

For the honeybee colony at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, life hasn’t exactly been sweet this fall. In mid-September, the colony suffered from acute poisoning – which typically happens when the bees visit flowers that have been recently sprayed with an insecticide. Sadly, the results were deadly. “When our interpreter came in to the exhibition, three quarters of the bees were piled up at the bottom of the hive,” explains Nadine Dagenais Dessaint, an education, interpretation and

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

Federal Funds for the Mont-Megantic Observatory

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Mont-Megantic Observatory has been in operation since 1978 as one of Canada’s premier astrophysical observatories. In order to ensure it remain on the frontier of astrophysical research, the Federal government, through the Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions Agency, has provided a $1,000,000 for the development of new instrumentation.

ALMA Returns to the Boomerang Nebula

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Boomerang Nebula is the coldest location in the known universe at roughly 2 degrees colder than empty space! This nebula is the result of the death of a red giant star, and the extreme temperature is caused by the rapid expansion of the nebula. According to thermodynamics, if you expand a gas you cool a gas (just try using one of those compressed air cans for cleaning electronics). However, according to astronomers, a single star's death could not account for a strong enough wind to create

One of Saturn's moons might have tipped over

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Even nearing the end, the Cassini spacecraft is still producing amazing science. This story focuses on Saturn's moon Enceladus; researchers from Cornell University in New York say they have found evidence that the moon has changed its polar axis of spin. This is based on features they've found on the surface of the moon.

Jo Lancaster, one of the first to use an ejection seat in an aircraft

The ejection seat is ubiquitous nowadays in military fighter crafts, but it wasn't always so. Jo Lancaster became one of the first to use an ejection seat 70 years ago. This great video from BBC Science News explains the engineering behind early ejection seats.

NASA has issued a challenge to the community

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a challenge to its public: increase the efficiency of one of its high-level research software and win $55,000 USD. Many of us forget that NASA also works in aeronautics, not just space. In order to develop cutting edge air planes and other flight tech, NASA begins with simulating airflow using a Fortran code called FUN3D. However, FUN3D isn't able to keep up with some of the simulations its been given. As a result, NASA has
