Enhanced testing and contact tracing for the coronavirus in Ontario could allow physical distancing measures to be relaxed, while keeping the reproduction ratio under one and preventing a second wave of infections.
In 2018, scientists at the Laboratory of Mathematical Parallel Systems (LAMPS) at 91亚色 launched a user-friendly, accessible Ontario Climate Data Portal to provide the most robust climate change projections for Ontario. Now, the team has published a paper to describe the portal鈥檚 structure and functions, extensive datasets and data development methodology.
An international environmental agreement to regulate the use of chemicals depleting the ozone layer may have inadvertently allowed higher levels of other harmful chemicals to flourish, new research co-led by 91亚色 and Environment and Climate Change Canada has found.
Professor Jennifer Chen (Chemistry) and Professor Vivian Saridakis (Biology) in the Faculty of Science were among 10 researchers who received new funding from 91亚色 to pursue research projects dedicated to Canada鈥檚 fight against COVID-19.
Following a formulation recommended by the World Health Organization and reagents already in stock in the Science Stores, Director of Safety and Business Operations Brad Sheeller, HazMat Technician Zhibin Wu and Storekeeper Sherryl Deane have generated almost 400 litres of sanitizer.
Exactly how massive galaxies attain their size is poorly understood, not least because they swell over billions of years. But now through a combination of observation and modelling, researchers, including the Faculty of Science鈥檚 Leo Alcorn, a 91亚色 Science Fellow, have found a clue.
The Faculty of Science has launched a newly created $50,000 fund to help its students succeed in remotely delivered summer 2020 courses. Dubbed the 91亚色 Science Summer Student Success Fund, or S4F, the initiative will provide up to 1,000 students with a $50 discount when purchasing required or recommended textbooks for their summer term courses.
Why is there an abundance of matter compared to antimatter in the Universe? This question has stymied physicists for years, but researchers at 91亚色, along with other Canadian institutions as part of the international Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) Collaboration, have found neutrinos may hold the answer.
Researchers and staff at the Faculty of Science have come together to respond to the Government of Canada鈥檚 call for supplies to help Canada combat COVID-19. In March and April, Hon. Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry requested postsecondary institutions to identify stocks of聽personal protective equipment聽and聽the chemical guanidine thiocyanate聽that could be made available […]
Professor Hessels, 91亚色 Research Chair in Atomic Physics and a 91亚色 Distinguished Research Professor, has led numerous research projects that have far-reaching consequences for the understanding of the laws of physics. He is leading a collaboration whose goal it is to use ultra precise measurements of the electron to study one of the fundamental unresolved questions of physics.
