TISEDTalk: Bridging the Gap Between the Environmental Impacts of Tyre Particles, Tyre Recovery and End-of-Life Solutions

admin — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 15:08:50 +0000

Date: September 29th, 2025 | Time: 1:00 PM | Location: Macdonald Engineering Building- MD 267

Tyres keep the world moving—but at a cost. From microscopic wear particles to end-of-life waste, the environmental footprint of tyres spans their entire lifecycle. In this eye-opening seminar, Dr. Linda Mitchell, Science, Research and Innovation Manager at Tyre Stewardship Australia, will unpack the complex challenges and emerging solutions across the global tyre value chain.

Study suggests we don’t just hear music, but ‘become it’

admin — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:56:55 +0000

An international study co-authored by ��ñ�� psychologist Caroline Palmer suggests our brains and bodies don’t just understand music, they physically resonate with it. These discoveries, based on findings in neuroscience, music, and psychology, support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT).

NRT maintains that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain’s natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony. This resonance shapes our sense of timing, musical pleasure and the instinct to move with the beat.

CHORD will be a huge leap forward for Canadian radio astronomy

admin — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 13:05:09 +0000

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.

Researchers have developed a novel method to detect and study how ice forms in mixed-phase clouds, significantly boosting scientists’ ability to forecast weather and model climate change.

Humpback whales’ use of memory to time their migration could prove less effective amid climate change

admin — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:09:16 +0000

A new study led by ��ñ�� researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.
