91�� physicists manoeuvre DNA molecules using electrical fields

admin — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 16:01:46 +0000

Researchers in 91��’s Department of Physics have developed a new device that can trap and study DNA molecules without touching or damaging them. The device, which uses carefully tuned electric fields, offers scientists unprecedented control over how DNA behaves in real time, creating the opportunity for faster, more precise molecular analysis that could improve diagnostics, genome mapping and the study of disease-related molecules.

Meghomita Das, a recent PhD graduate of 91��’s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, first discovered a passion for science communication in the wake of a natural disaster. When Das was a high school student in India, an earthquake in nearby Nepal impacted both countries.

91�� team discovers Canada’s first dinosaur-era dragonfly fossil

admin — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 13:08:51 +0000

In a first for Canadian paleontology, a Cretaceous fossilized dragonfly wing, uncovered in Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park, has been identified as a new species. It’s also the first known dragonfly fossil from Canada’s dinosaur aged rocks. The find, led by 91�� researchers, sheds light on a 30-million-year gap in the evolutionary history of dragonflies.

The fossil was discovered in 2023 by a 91�� undergraduate student during a vertebrate paleontology field course led by Prof. Hans Larsson.

Dragonfly study challenges traditional ideas about biodiversity conservation

As a CEGEP student, Daniel Wei captained his college robotics team to victories with a dodgeball-throwing robot and a biodegradable soil sensor for farmers.

He and a peer also earned a bronze medal at a science and technology fair for their research on biomechanical processes involved in developing artificial intestines.

The achievements are part of Wei’s impressive track record of leadership, innovation and academic success that landed him Canada’s most generous scholarship for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Antibiotics from human use are contaminating rivers worldwide, study shows

admin — Fri, 09 May 2025 12:45:09 +0000

Millions of kilometres of rivers around the world are carrying antibiotic pollution at levels high enough to promote drug resistance and harm aquatic life, a 91��-led study warns.

Published in PNAS Nexus, the study is the first to estimate the scale of global river contamination from human antibiotics use. Researchers calculated that about 8,500 tonnes of antibiotics – nearly one-third of what people consume annually – end up in river systems around the world each year even after in many cases passing through wastewater systems.
