To keep pace with the drive for more bandwidth, ƻ����Ժ Professor and Canada Research Chair <a href="/newsroom/david-v-plant">David V. Plant</a> and his team are working on pushing the speed limits of the Internet by making data transmission quicker, more efficient, and greener.</p> Fri, 09 Jun 2023 15:28:34 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 302971 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/t-rex-was-champion-walker-super-efficient-lower-speeds-322130 <p>While smaller dinosaurs needed speed, huge predators like T. rex were optimized for energy-efficient walking, according to a <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0223698">study</a> published in PLOS ONE.</p> Wed, 13 May 2020 18:19:54 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 210711 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/toronto-star-research-says-tyrannosaurus-rex-was-built-distance-not-speed-322146 <p>Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most feared predators in the Age of Dinosaurs, may have been built for endurance, not speed. A paper published Wednesday takes recent research on how mammals move and applies it to dinosaurs. Its conclusions support theories that the massive meat-eaters hunted in packs and opens a window into the ecology of the ancient forests they roamed. “We’re trying to figure out how much energy is going into and flowing through paleo ecosystems,” said <strong>Hans Larsson</strong> of Montreal’s ƻ����Ժ, one of the paper’s co-authors.</p> Thu, 14 May 2020 16:31:44 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 210820 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/find-partner-who-marches-beat-your-own-drum-258294 <p><strong><em>By Cynthia Lee</em></strong></p> <p><a href="/newsroom/"><strong>Newsroom</strong></a></p> <p>Everyone marches to the beat of their own drum: From walking to talking to producing music, different people’s movements occur at different speeds.</p> Wed, 03 Feb 2016 16:45:11 +0000 nima.adibpour@mail.mcgill.ca 25221 at /newsroom
