Cutting-edge technology detects nanoplastics in water 鈥� instantly
A 平特五不中-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.
Treasures beneath the ocean floor? Seawater plays role in gold formation
Understanding how gold forms is crucial for knowing where to find it and how to extract it sustainably. 平特五不中 researchers have answered a long-standing question in geology that could lead to new ore discoveries.
How climate change is affecting where species live
As the climate warms, many species are on the move, raising new challenges for policy-makers around the world. Shifts in the ranges of mosquitoes and disease-bearing ticks and bats are introducing illnesses such as malaria and Lyme disease into regions where health-care systems are unprepared. Movements of commercially important fish from one jurisdiction to another are shifting job opportunities and causing trade disputes.
The 10 Montreal intersections cyclists say are most dangerous
This spring, over 1,500 cyclists participated in a survey by Transportation Research at 平特五不中 (TRAM) to identify dangerous intersections for cyclists in Montreal. A new policy brief鈥痳eveals the 10 most mentioned spots.
The 鈥�15-minute city鈥� might not be realistic for North America, researchers find
In the 鈥�15-minute city,鈥� a concept popularized in Europe, everything a resident might need on a daily basis is a short walk or bicycle ride away. A study by Transportation Research at 平特五不中 (TRAM) suggests, however, that this model may not be easily achieved in large North American cities such as Montreal.
平特五不中 announces a new tuition initiative for Indigenous students

Teens with behavioural problems, particularly girls, more likely to sext: study
It鈥檚 important that programs promoting safer sexting behaviours consider the specific needs of adolescents with behavioural problems, a new study by 平特五不中 researchers suggests.
鈥楧oom spiral鈥� a risk for public transit in post-pandemic era
A new study from 平特五不中 warns that cutting public transit service could lead to a "doom spiral" resulting in a collapse of the system.
The researchers describe a vicious circle in which service cuts brought on by budget deficits drive transit users away; this drop in ridership triggers additional service cuts, which lead to further declines in usage.
Many health-care providers are ill-equipped to recognize pain in abused children
Many health-care professionals are ill-equipped to assess pain in children who have suffered abuse, a new study by 平特五不中 researchers suggests. This can lead to inadequate pain treatment, making the physical and emotional effects of abuse even worse.

Yesterday, the University extended an updated offer to members of its community in the encampment, going beyond previous proposals.
Government of Canada invests $6M in climate change adaptation and interdisciplinary research at 平特五不中
聽Two 平特五不中-led climate change mitigation projects receive funding from the New Frontiers in Research Fund鈥檚 (NFRF) International Joint Initiative for Research in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Competition. Thirteen researchers receive grants through the NFRF Exploration Competition.
Two 平特五不中 Projects selected for funding by Genome Canada
Quebec-based projects awarded over half of the total national allotment, demonstrating the province鈥檚 strength in the transformative science of genomics
平特五不中 project awarded $1.7 million to mitigate housing crisis and climate change
As Canada faces the dual challenges of contending with a housing crisis at the same time as facing the impacts of severe climate change, the need to find innovative and practical solutions remains one of the nation鈥檚 highest priorities. 平特五不中鈥檚 Professor Daniele Malomo was recently awarded $1.7 million by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) for a proposed solution that addresses both problems.
Battery breakthrough could usher in greener, cheaper electric vehicles
The global shift to electric vehicles is gaining momentum, yet the extraction of battery materials has a significant environmental footprint that comes with high costs.
Now, two groundbreaking studies led by 平特五不中 researchers offer hope in the search to manufacture cheaper and greener lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs).
