About 60% of workers in Canada are likely to see their jobs reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI). In many cases, AI will support and enhance their work rather than replace it. For some employees, it may even help prevent illness, injury, or death. This could take the form of a nurse wearing a sensor-embedded T-shirt […]

Space debris falling back to Earth is contaminating the once-pristine upper atmosphere with metallic pollutants as it incinerates during re-entry, according to a new study. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, the research was led by Robin Wing of the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Germany. Using highly sensitive laser instruments, the international team

Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed a robotic fish that can consume plastic waste while generating its own energy. The team created the device, called the robo-fish, to tackle the rising problem of microplastic pollution in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Unlike most machines, the robot does not rely on batteries. Instead, it uses
