Long-term care (LTC) facilities in Quebec and Ontario have been facing the rapid spread of COVID-19 among residents and staff, and currently, over 80% of the reported COVID-19 related deaths in province of Quebec and over 70% of the reported COVID-19 related deaths in province of Ontario are from public and private nursing homes.</p> Thu, 22 Dec 2022 00:16:30 +0000 amanda.testani@mcgill.ca 732 at /research /research/channels/news/making-ai-partner-neuroscientific-discovery-355328 <h4><strong>New paper argues that Large Language Models can reveal breakthroughs humans alone cannot</strong></h4> Fri, 09 Feb 2024 14:55:25 +0000 admin 8736 at /research /research/channels/news/cutting-edge-technology-detects-nanoplastics-water-instantly-357890 <p>A 苹果淫院-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.</p> <p>Microplastic pieces are between 1 micrometre and 5 millimetres, roughly equivalent to a grain of rice. Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres.
