U of T Engineering researchers use machine learning to enhance environmental monitoring of microplastics
More accurate measurements are critical to preventing microplastics from entering the environment — or removing those that are already there
Beyond lithium-ion: New battery technologies among nine projects supported by 2022 Connaught Innovation Awards
Professor Gisele Azimi (ChemE, MSE) is exploring aluminum as an alternative to lithium and cobalt to develop more cost-effective and reliable components for next-generation batteries
Could a ‘virtual slime mould’ design a better subway system?
A model based on the growth patterns of a single-celled organism could lead to networks with improved travel time or resilience to disruption
Zebra mussels could point the way toward non-stick surfaces and medical adhesives
Professor Eli Sone and his team developed new techniques to measure how strongly mussels stick to a range of different materials
Acceleration Consortium at U of T welcomes Anatole von Lilienfeld as inaugural Clark chair in advanced materials discovery
Professor von Lilienfeld, whose appointment will be shared with the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, will play a key role in developing new materials that do not exist yet
