DNA-built Nanoparticles Safely Target Cancer Tumours

A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a method of assembling ‘building blocks’ of gold nanoparticles as the vehicle to deliver cancer medications, or cancer-identifying markers, directly into cancerous tumours. The study, led by Professor Warren…

New Metamaterial Lens Allows for Lighter, Thinner Solar Panels

Researchers in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering have designed a new way to focus light over extremely short distances, technology with big applications in photovoltaics and optical imaging. Picture a typical lens, shaped like half…

First Living 3D Model of Arrhythmic Heart Made From Stem Cells

Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering (IBBME) and the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine have developed the first-ever method for creating living, three-dimensional human heart tissue that behaves like mature heart tissue. Importantly, the…
