Canada just committed $2.2 billion to transform its 70-year-old Chalk River nuclear research facility into a cutting-edge clean energy hub. The massive upgrade could help power the country's transition to carbon-free electricity while creating breakthroughs in next-generation nuclear technology.
A $50,000 grant is helping Canadian researchers unlock why the deadliest brain cancer resists treatment that works for other cancers. The early-stage work could lead to the first effective immunotherapy for glioblastoma patients.
A powerful new supercomputer at the University of Waterloo will help 4,000 researchers each year tackle breakthrough challenges in health, climate science, and artificial intelligence. The Nibi system marks a major win for Canadian-built research infrastructure.
The University of Saskatchewan just landed a groundbreaking $2 million partnership with Brazil to tackle oral health challenges. This five-year collaboration will fund 50 joint research projects between Canadian and Brazilian scientists.
A groundbreaking study reveals that strategic tree planting across Canada's northern boreal forest could remove five times the country's annual carbon emissions by 2100. The research offers a clear roadmap for Canada to achieve carbon neutrality while restoring vital forest ecosystems.
A century after discovering insulin, Canada is pushing for federal funding to build a national research network that could accelerate curative therapies for type 1 diabetes and create hundreds of high-skilled jobs. The investment could move breakthrough treatments from lab to patients years sooner.
Western Canada's electricity grid is getting a major boost with $26 million in federal funding for 17 clean energy projects, including Indigenous-led solar initiatives. The University of Calgary received $4.2 million to lead research connecting provincial power grids for more reliable, affordable energy sharing.
Municipal leaders in oil-dependent communities across Western Canada are quietly building clean energy futures that work with, not against, their existing industries. New research reveals how listening to these towns could unlock Canada's energy transition.
New research reveals that brain injuries affect more than half of Canada's 60,000 unhoused people, but experts have created a five-part solution to break the cycle. The findings show that addressing brain injuries could be the missing piece in ending homelessness for thousands.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Team Canada's Matt Dunstone is on fire at the world men's curling championship, clinching his third consecutive victory with a stunning comeback against China. The Winnipeg skipper's four-point surge in the ninth end sealed an 8-4 win and pushed Canada into a tie for third place.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
A groundbreaking $4 million clinical trial in Canada is pairing gut bacteria capsules with immunotherapy to help lung cancer patients who aren't responding to standard treatments. If successful, the LUNA-2 trial could extend lives and reduce side effects for thousands of Canadians.
University of Alberta researchers are leading an eight-year project to rebuild computer models that predict forest growth, helping balance timber harvesting with conservation for decades to come. The upgrade will help Western Canada's forests adapt to climate change while supporting sustainable forestry.
