In from 平特五不中, researchers bring science into an unexpected setting: a tattoo parlor. In this first characterization of the human piercing microbiome, the uniquely human cultural practice of piercing serves as a model system to help us better understand how biological communities (re)assemble after catastrophic environmental disturbances.
What if you could charge your electric vehicle in the same amount of time it takes to fill a tank of gas?
In a new paper published today in Joule, researchers from 平特五不中 and the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) announced the development of a novel method that enables researchers to peer inside Li-ion batteries and, for the first time, track the physical processes that take place in both the liquid and solid parts of the battery cells as they happen.
平特五不中 researchers have made a breakthrough in diagnostic technology, inventing a 鈥榣ab on a chip鈥� that can be 3D-printed in just 30 minutes. The chip has the potential to make on-the-spot testing widely accessible.聽聽
In a world grappling with deep-seated division and social upheaval, empathy has become more critical than ever.
But science suggests when it comes to evoking empathy, our imagination is more powerful than we previously thought. A new study, led by 平特五不中 researchers, reveals how the different ways to experience empathy affect our willingness to help others.
How do you create strong, yet quick-release connections between living and non-living tissues? This is a question that continues to puzzle bioengineers who aim to create materials that bond together for advanced biomedical applications.
What wiped out the dinosaurs? A meteorite plummeting to Earth is only part of the story, a new study suggests. Climate change triggered by massive volcanic eruptions may have ultimately set the stage for the dinosaur extinction, challenging the traditional narrative that a meteorite alone delivered the final blow to the ancient giants.
At last year鈥檚 COP15 conference in Montreal, the Government of Canada set the goal of conserving 30 percent of the country鈥檚 land and water by 2030.
Do adults with a history of childhood trauma have altered brain responses to psychological challenges? Previous studies indicated that this can occur in laboratory animals, but it has been unclear whether it occurs in humans.
The results of the 2022 Canada Excellence Research Chairs competition were announced this morning at Simon Fraser University by the Honourable Terry Beech, Minister of Citizens鈥� Services. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and Ted Hewitt, President of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Chair of the Tri-agency Institutional Programs Secretariat Steering Committee.
As the planet gets hotter, animal and plant species around the world will be faced with new, potentially unpredictable living conditions, which could alter ecosystems in unprecedented ways.
When speaking to one another, much of the communication occurs nonverbally 鈥� through body posture, hand gestures, and the eyes. Our eye gaze during conversations therefore reveals a wealth of information about our attention, intention, or psychological states. But, there remains little scientific knowledge about the information that human eyes convey in interactions 鈥� is looking at others鈥� faces enough, or does our communication require eye-to-eye contact?
A new report shares patient-led solutions to help address the worsening primary care crisis in Quebec, where more than two million Quebecers have no assigned family doctor or nurse practitioner, among the worst rates in the country.
Canada itself is among the worst performing among developed countries, with more than six million Canadians lacking access to a family physician. Residents of rural and smalltown communities face even more profound challenges to access, highlighting the need for more to be done in Quebec to find real world solutions to these ongoing problems.
Many parents experience stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms throughout their lives, particularly during times of transition, such as pregnancy and children鈥檚 entry into school. Studies have generally found that high levels of anxiety and depression in parents are linked to poorer behavioural and cognitive outcomes in children.
