Ultra-efficient atomic computers that could store more data and consume 100 times less power
As computers continue to infiltrate almost every aspect of modern life, their negative impact on the environment grows. According to recent estimates, the electricity required to power today’s computers releases a total of more than 1 gigatonne of carbon emissions to the atmosphere each year. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Nano have developed a new manufacturing process
Gene editing technology could have serious negative ramifications under certain conditions
An international team of biologists urge careful use of technology in research and flag potential biosafety risks. The use of gene-editing technology to create virus-resistant cassava plants could have serious negative ramifications, according to new research by plant biologists at the University of Alberta, the University of Liege in Belgium, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Their
Using genetic tagging to help conserve the world’s wildlife
Research by UAlberta ecologists suggests studying DNA signatures is a “one-stop-shop” for wildlife conservation. Tracking animals using DNA signatures are ideally suited to answer the pressing questions required to conserve the world’s wildlife, providing benefits over invasive methods such as ear tags and collars, according to a new study by University of Alberta biologists. Genetic
10 times more capacity for lithium ion batteries?
U of A chemists confirm importance of nano-sizing silicon to improve lithium ion batteries. University of Alberta chemists have taken a critical step toward creating a new generation of silicon-based lithium ion batteries with 10 times the charge capacity of current cells. “We wanted to test how different sizes of silicon nanoparticles could affect fracturing
A promising drug treatment could revolutionize the treatment of patients suffering from ALS
University of Alberta scientists find a new application for an existing drug, with potential to slow progression of the devastating degenerative disease. A new drug could significantly slow the progression of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, according to new research by University of Alberta biologists. Current treatments slow progression of the degenerative disease
