This Hubble Space Telescope image of the remnant of Supernova 1987A shows a bright inner ring glowing as it interacts with material from the supernova blast.

Astronomers observe the magnetic field of the remains of Supernova 1987A

June 29, 2018

For the first time, astronomers have directly observed the magnetism in one of astronomy’s most studied objects: the remains of Supernova 1987A (SN 1987A), a dying star that appeared in our skies over thirty years ago.

How to train your robot: U of T research provides new approaches

June 26, 2018

If your friend is sad, you can say something to help cheer them up. If you ask your co-worker to make coffee, they know the steps to complete this task.

But how do artificially intelligent robots, or AIs, learn to behave in the same way humans do?

Autonomous vehicles: U of T researchers make advances with new algorithm

June 25, 2018

A self-driving vehicle has to detect objects, track them over time, and predict where they will be in the future in order to plan a safe manoeuvre. These tasks are typically trained independently from one another, which could result in disasters should any one task fail.

Plastic not just a problem in our oceans, also affecting the Great Lakes: U of T research

June 18, 2018

When it comes to plastics polluting our water, it’s not just the world’s oceans that should keep us concerned.

Prehistoric teeth dating back 2 million years reveal details on ancient Africa's climate

May 24, 2018

New research out of South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave this week shows that the climate of the interior of southern Africa almost two million years ago was like no modern African environment — it was much wetter.

The pulsar PSR B1957+20 is seen in the background through the cloud of gas enveloping its brown dwarf star companion.

Astronomers observe unprecedented detail in pulsar 6500 light-years from Earth

May 23, 2018

A team of astronomers has performed one of the highest resolution observations in astronomical history by observing two intense regions of radiation, 20 kilometres apart, around a star 6500 light-years away.

The observation is equivalent to using a telescope on Earth to see a flea on the surface of Pluto.

Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor visits Gillian Einstein’s lab to learn more about her research.

Federal Health Minister visits the Einstein Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, Gender and Health

May 07, 2018

Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor visited U of T cognitive neuroscientist Gillian Einstein’s lab to learn more about her groundbreaking research into how sex and gender influence the structure and function of the brain.

Predict responsibly: Fairness needed in algorithmic decision-making, U of T experts say

May 01, 2018

University of Toronto PhD student David Madras says many of today’s algorithms are good at making accurate predictions, but don’t know how to handle uncertainty well. If a badly calibrated algorithm makes the wrong decision, it’s usually very wrong.

Lab-on-a-chip delivers critical immunity data for vulnerable populations

April 25, 2018

For millions of displaced people around the world – many of them refugees, living in temporary shelters under crowded conditions – an outbreak of disease is devastating. Each year, the measles virus kills more than 134,000 people globally, and another 100,000 children are born with defects caused by congenital rubella syndrome.

Feeling distressed?

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
