Advancing the search for extraterrestrial life

October 10, 2018

To advance the search for extraterrestrial life in the universe, NASA should support research on a broader range of biosignatures and environments, and incorporate the field of astrobiology – the study of the origins of life in the universe and the search for life on other worlds – into all stages of future exploratory missions, says a

University of Toronto chemists taste 'forbidden fruit' of reaction dynamics

October 05, 2018

Discovery advances ability to control chemical reactions.

Scientists at the University of Toronto have found a way to select the outcome of chemical reaction by employing an elusive and long-sought factor known as the ‘impact parameter’.

Astronomers discover sonic boom from powerful unseen explosion

October 04, 2018

A team of astronomers has detected the sonic boom from an immensely powerful cosmic explosion, even though the explosion itself was totally unseen.

For years, astronomers have been hunting all over the sky for an example of this strange phenomenon, known as an “orphan afterglow.” At last, now they’ve finally found one.

Scientists uncover new connection between smell and memory

July 26, 2018

Findings offer opportunities for improved smell tests in Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.

Neurobiologists at the University of Toronto have identified a mechanism that allows the brain to recreate vivid sensory experiences from memory, shedding light on how sensory-rich memories are created and stored in our brains.

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.

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.
