Researchers from the University of Waterloo have found a way to reduce the energy use of some data centres by as much as 30 per cent.

Amidst the global race to establish and deploy useful and powerful quantum computers, researchers at a newly incorporated, Waterloo-based non-profit are taking a different approach.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have found that quantum algorithms could speed up generative artificial intelligence (AI) creation and usage.

Most older adults prefer to age in their homes and stay active in their communities. For many, malnutrition will derail those plans due to involuntary weight loss, micronutrient deficiencies and frailty.

An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Waterloo is building systems that mimic the human brain to improve the power efficiency and performance of artificial neural networks like those used in autonomous vehicle (AV) technology.

Taylor Kergan's research aims to use machine-learned models for diagnosis and exploration in brain research Taylor Kergan is helping make history at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the University of Calgary.

Imagine shrinking satellite technology that predicts the weather into a device that transmits vital information about the health of the person wearing it.

The "Solving the crisis:" series explores the pressing challenges of our time, including climate change, biodiversity collapse, housing affordability and more.

Overwhelmed with credit cards options and obscure information, four young co-founders started Eclipse , which just released a new product to help users manage their finances and maximize rewards.

Warming temperatures mean shorter ice seasons in Sanikiluaq, Nunavut. As a result, the stretches of landfast ice formed from frozen seawater that Inuit use to travel and hunt on are increasingly unpredictable and unsafe.

Accurate models of real-world scenarios are important for bringing theoretical and experimental research together in meaningful ways.

Writing software code can be a painstaking and stressful process-and downright boring when the job is repetitive and you're doing it remotely, alone in front of your screen.

UCalgary competition brings together leading research teams in academia and industry to focus quantum science on big challenges in energy management and environmental remediation The Quantum City Chal

With Canada in need of airplane pilots, University of Waterloo researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to help more of them take flight.

A Simon Fraser University (SFU) researcher is using virtual reality (VR) to help teens regulate their emotions and is using their feedback to help design and develop better technologies for psychologists.

The build-up of ice on an airplane in flight can seriously impair its ability to fly and, in extreme cases, lead to catastrophe.
