Advancing a More Sustainable Future for Critical Minerals
UBC is bringing its expertise in critical minerals to the Rio Tinto Centre for Future Materials, a $150 (US) million research endeavour to fundamentally change how we produce, use and recycle the minerals needed for modern technologies and the clean energy transition.
Satellite Evidence Bolsters Case That Climate Change Caused Mass Elephant Die-off
New analysis showing carcass distribution and algae in watering holes points to climate-induced poisoning of over 300 African elephants.
Photonic Processor Could Enable Ultrafast AI Computations with Extreme Energy Efficiency
The deep neural network models that power today’s most demanding machine-learning applications have grown so large and complex that they are pushing the limits of traditional electronic computing hardware.
Can We Avert the Looming Food Crisis of Climate Change?
Mathematical model captures the relationship between carbon dioxide, temperature, human population, and crop growth—and reveals a critical threshold.
Warming Temperatures Impact Immune Performance of Wild Monkeys, U-M Study Shows
The immune performance of wild capuchin monkeys declines when the animals experience higher temperatures, and younger monkeys seem to be particularly vulnerable to heat, according to a University of Michigan study.
