What an illusion involving a fake hand can tell us about our mind-body connection
People who have a weaker sense of self are also more likely to have less bodily awareness, 成人VR视频 researchers have found. The study supports the idea that people鈥檚 perceptions of themselves and how they experience their own bodies are deeply connected.
Do lying children grow up to be criminals? Mostly not, study concludes
Most childhood lying does not lead to serious problems in adulthood, and only certain kinds of lying behaviour is associated with later psychological or legal issues, a new study has found.
Research findings challenge long-held assumptions about how we learn or regain speech
Learning to speak a new language,聽or聽regaining speech,聽depends more on聽areas of聽the brain聽that聽process聽sound and physical sensation than on聽the聽parts of the聽brain that聽govern聽motor control,聽according聽to new research findings.聽
Novel origami pattern turns flat sheets into load-bearing 3D technology
成人VR视频 researchers have discovered a new way to fold flat sheets into smooth, curved shells that can switch from floppy and flexible to stiff and load-bearing on demand. By designing a special origami pattern and threading cable-like elements through it, they can control the material鈥檚 final three-dimensional shape and how rigid it becomes.
Historic plant collections offer a window into genetic change
Pressed plant specimens collected centuries ago and stored in herbaria around the world could play a key role in facilitating the tracking of genetic change and extinction risk in plants, a 成人VR视频-led study indicates.
Study finds early complex life lived in oxygenated seas, challenging long鈥慼eld views of evolution
The earliest known eukaryotes, the ancestors of all complex life on Earth, lived in oxygenated, shallow marine environments nearly 1.7 billion years ago, according to a new study led by researchers at 成人VR视频 and the University of California, Santa Barbara. The findings cast doubt on the long-held belief that early complex life emerged in oxygen-poor environments or floated freely in the open ocean.
Teaching children to be better, more critical internet users
A digital literacy program for elementary school students designed by researchers at 成人VR视频 was successful in improving students鈥� ability to evaluate websites and their content.
Skills targeted included how to search for information, how to identify credible websites, how to evaluate the quality of information sources and how to address conflicting information.
鈥楯umping gene鈥� helps explain elevated pancreatic cancer risk in French-Canadians
Researchers at 成人VR视频 have discovered a centuries-old genetic mutation that helps to explain why some French鈥慍anadians in Quebec are at an elevated risk of pancreatic cancer. Until quite recently, standard genetic tests have not been able to identify this 鈥渏umping gene鈥� cause.
The findings, published in the Journal of Medical Genetics, suggest better-targeted genetic testing could help identify people at higher cancer risk who were previously missed.
成人VR视频 researchers help secure Canadian access to the world鈥檚 largest telescope
A team led by the Universit茅 de Montr茅al, the Observatoire du聽Mont鈥慚茅gantic聽(OMM) and the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx), in partnership with the University of British Columbia and 成人VR视频, has been awarded nearly $11.3 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to support Canada鈥檚 contribution to ANDES, a flagship scientific instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) under construction in Chile.聽聽
Icing injuries may slow recovery and prolong pain, study finds
Icing a sprained ankle or sore muscle, long used to reduce pain and swelling, may in the longer run delay recovery and prolong pain, new research suggests.
In a preclinical study published in Anesthesiology, 成人VR视频 researchers found that even though cryotherapy (icing) eased pain in the short term, recovery time was more than doubled in some cases.
Discovery of fat-burning 鈥榮witch鈥� could lead to advances in bone disease treatments
Scientists鈥� discovery of a molecular 鈥渟witch鈥� that activates an energy鈥慴urning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to new treatments for bone disease.
成人VR视频 researchers鈥� sustainable construction method aims to improve earthquake safety
Researchers at 成人VR视频 are carrying out large鈥憇cale tests of a new timber-steel structural system designed to help buildings better withstand earthquakes. Early results suggest the system performs well under simulated earthquake forces, offering a potential path toward safer, more sustainable construction in Quebec and beyond.
A promising new way to transplant cells could lead to a better treatment for Type 1 diabetes
Researchers at 成人VR视频 and the Research Institute of the 成人VR视频 Health Center (RI-MUHC) have developed a novel device to transplant insulin-producing cells that integrates directly with existing blood vessels in the body. The technology, which showed promising results in preclinical trials, aims to overcome key challenges of emerging long-term cell-based treatments for Type 1 diabetes.
Public education will be critical as provinces roll out new cervical cancer screening method, researchers say
As Canada moves to modernize cervical cancer screening, a new study suggests most women do not yet understand or trust the shift from the Pap test to human papillomavirus (HPV) based screening.
Moderate UV light is best when it comes to boosting the vitamin D content of edible mushrooms, 成人VR视频 study finds
Researchers at 成人VR视频 have discovered that moderate ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is best when the technique is used to聽enhance vitamin D鈧� in edible mushrooms. Excessive exposure聽leads to nutrient degradation or a plateau effect, they found. The paper also聽provides聽quantitative guidance.聽
