New advances in fields including microfluidics could be possible with a new coating that allows liquids to move across surfaces without fluid loss.

Intelligent metasurfaces have the potential to double the capacity of existing wireless communication networks

A University of Toronto Engineering team is addressing this challenge by designing advanced electrolyzers that use electricity to convert captured CO2 into the petrochemical building blocks of common everyday materials, from plastic to lycra. This helps create a market for captured carbon, while also providing a low-carbon alternative to the fossil fuel-based manufacturing processes in use today. Unlike previous systems, the team’s latest design can be run under strongly acidic conditions, wh...

Researchers from University of Toronto Engineering have developed an improved electrochemical system that raises the value of captured CO2 by converting more of it into valuable products than ever before.

Picture used for representational purpose only BENGALURU: What type of mask should one wear if he or she is coughing? Researchers at IISc suggest wearing multilayered masks to prevent aerosol generation as these do not allow escape of droplet volume when the person coughs. The study carried out by IISc in association with scientists from UC San Diego and University of Toronto Engineering has been published in Science Advances. According to IISc, when a person coughs, large droplets (>200 micro...
