Battery-sized microscope gives new insights into brain activity during seizures
Technique could offer insights into what causes epilepsy, and lead to more effective treatments for more than 15,000 Canadians diagnosed each year
Multi-functional, modular nanoparticles could help fight cancer
New cancer-fighting nanoparticles developed at U of T Engineering carry out multiple functions to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy ones alone. They consist of a gold nanorod core (yellow, at left) surrounded by smaller gold spheres and linked via strands of DNA containing anti-cancer drug (red). The spheres are coated with a polymer film […]
Many life-saving defibrillators behind locked doors during off-hours, study finds
A study led by U of T Engineering researchers shows that automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are inacessible up to 30 per cent of the time.
Understanding a key roadblock behind nanoparticle cancer drug delivery
A new paper from Prof. Warren Chan and colleagues is shedding light on how the liver interacts with nanoparticles
Engineering stem cells to enhance antibody therapy
Canadian researchers first to demonstrate that stem cells can be used to deliver antibodies more effectively than administration of the antibodies themselves
Bronze medal finish for U of T Engineering’s Blue Sky Solar Racing team
The solar-powered vehicle Horizon placed third at the American Solar Challenge, a challenging eight-day race across seven U.S. states
Recycling carbon dioxide: U of T researchers efficiently reduce climate-warming CO2 into building blocks for fuels
Group led by Professor Ted Sargent in U of T Engineering develops materials that produce fuels by consuming the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide
