Professor Aaron Wheeler (IBBME) has won the Analytical Chemistry 2011 Young Innovator Award. This award honours exceptional technical advancement and innovation in the field of micro- or nanofluidics early in the investigator’s career. Wheeler’s innovative research explores the relationship between…
As the demand for nanotechnology grows, The Edward S. Rogers Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering has responded with an undergraduate course that “is one-of-its-kind in Canada.” Introduction to Micro- and Nanofabrication Technologies, which was launched in 2009, provides students…
University of Toronto researchers have derived inspiration from the photosynthetic apparatus in plants to engineer a new generation of nanomaterials that control and direct the energy absorbed from light. Their findings are reported in Nature Nanotechnology , released on July 10,…
For nine days this month, 30 graduate students have been learning how to make nano-sized devices — devices with features that are thousands times smaller than the width of a human hair. Drawing participants primarily from U of T Engineering,…
Three U of T researchers, including two engineering professors, received more than $5 million in funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for projects on regenerative medicine and nanomedicine. Representatives from the…
A team of scientists including researchers from the University of Toronto and Princess Margaret Hospital have created an organic nanoparticle that is completely non-toxic, biodegradable and nimble in the way it uses light and heat to treat cancer and deliver…
