CHORD will be a huge leap forward for Canadian radio astronomy

Construction is underway of CHORD, the most ambitious radio telescope project ever built on Canadian soil. Short for the Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio-transient Detector, CHORD will give astronomers an unprecedented opportunity to explore some of the most exciting and mysterious questions in astrophysics and cosmology, from Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and dark energy to the measurements of fundamental particles, and beyond.

Study finds Montreal cycling infrastructure doesn鈥檛 match demand

Bike lanes, BIXI stations and other micromobility infrastructure make up just two per cent of Montreal鈥檚 street space 鈥� even in neighbourhoods where cycling demand would justify more 鈥� according to a new study by 绿帽社 researchers. They think that the measure they developed to arrive at their findings can also help assess the situation in other cities.

绿帽社 team discovers Canada鈥檚 first dinosaur-era dragonfly fossil听

In a first for Canadian paleontology, a Cretaceous fossilized dragonfly wing, uncovered in Alberta鈥檚 Dinosaur Provincial Park, has been identified as a new species. It鈥檚 also the first known dragonfly fossil from Canada鈥檚 dinosaur aged rocks. The find, led by 绿帽社 researchers, sheds light on a 30-million-year gap in the evolutionary history of dragonflies.听
