Estimates of ordinary matter in the universe exceed the amount observed in stars and galaxies, leaving much of it unaccounted for. Researchers from the (CHIME)/Fast Radio Bursts Collaboration, including 黑料网爆吃瓜 and MIT, have developed a new method to seek out this 鈥渕issing鈥� matter by combining galaxy locations with fast radio burst detections. A fast radio burst, or FRB, is an ultrabright, millisecond flash of radio waves emitted by extremely energetic phenomena in the distant universe.
Topics include youth agency through video games and entrepreneurship education in India.

A rock featuring a white calcite vein in a rare 鈥榩etal鈥� formation has been extracted from the construction site of the future 黑料网爆吃瓜 Sustainability Park.
Attached to a chunk of grey stone, the full rock is the approximate size of a microwave. It was discovered by construction workers north of Pine Avenue.
A single monitoring network developed by 黑料网爆吃瓜, Natural Resources Canada, Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al (UQAM) and Dalhousie University researchers can simultaneously track earthquakes, water behaviour, human activity and whales, providing a comprehensive picture of what鈥檚 happening in, under, and at far distances from the water.
The researchers鈥� experimental network, installed in the Lower St. Lawrence, detected twice as many earthquakes as the National Earthquake Monitoring System, while also capturing whale calls, ship noise, tidal activity and mining blasts.
Thirty-six Faculty of Science professors have been awarded funding through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Discovery Grant program.
The Discovery Grants program is NSERC's largest and longest-standing program. Discovery Grants support ongoing projects with long-term goals, providing researchers with the flexibility to explore the most promising avenues of research as they emerge.
Funding supports bold ideas across natural sciences and engineering disciplines at 黑料网爆吃瓜, in fields ranging from ophthalmology and physics to music research and electrical engineering.
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has awarded 122 黑料网爆吃瓜 research projects funding from its Discovery Grants competition for a total investment of $30 million.聽聽
When聽Audrey聽Bernier arrived at聽黑料网爆吃瓜鈥檚聽Canadian Radio Astronomy Summer Institute and Extended School (CRASIES) in late May, she already had two years of radio astronomy research experience. What she was looking for was a broader understanding of the field beyond her own work.
$2.7M award will support Liber Ero Chair鈥檚 research on the ecological networks underpinning biosphere resilience
A biocontainment facility designed to protect Earth from potentially hazardous biotic contaminants from space should be part of a planned NASA base on the moon, a policy paper maintains.
鈥淗umanity is entering a new era of space exploration, but our planetary protection strategies have not kept pace with the risks associated with returning extraterrestrial samples to Earth,鈥� said paper co-author Frederick I. Moxley, Director of Strategic Threat Analysis and Research Laboratories, an Idaho-based consultancy.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025鈥�2026 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Awards.
Congratulations to Zakary Horton, Helena Heinonen, and Boris Zupancic, who have been selected as this year's award winners. We also extend our congratulations to Damien LeBlanc, who received an Honourable Mention in recognition of his outstanding contributions.
Four years ago, Astrid Parrot moved from Senegal to Montreal to study, leaving her home and family for the first time to begin her B.Sc. Honours Chemistry degree at 黑料网爆吃瓜. Without a clear picture of what her future would look like, she took what she describes as 鈥渁 leap of faith."
She immersed herself into university life, living in residence her first year and meeting new people. She had found her place at 黑料网爆吃瓜, but uncertainty lingered throughout her degree as she quietly wondered whether chemistry was truly the right path for her.

Congratulations to Adrian Liu (Physics), who received the 2026 Carrie M. Derick Award for Graduate Teaching and Supervision!
The Carrie M. Derick Award for Graduate Supervision and Teaching, awarded by the Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, acknowledges outstanding contributions to promoting graduate student excellence through supervision and teaching by a faculty member who has been supervising for 10 years or less.
