McGill University researchers have developed an AI-powered method to verify the origin of honey, ensuring that what’s on the label matches what’s in the jar. The breakthrough offers a potential solution to a long-standing problem.

“Honey is one of the most fraud-prone commodities in global trade. It often involves mislabelling where it was produced or the types of flowers that bees collected nectar from,” said lead author Stéphane Bayen, Associate Professor and Chair of McGill’s Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry.

To find out how long 3D-printed metal parts are likely to last in the field, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is providing up to $10.3M to a University of Michigan-led team.

NCSA and Illinois Computes collaborated in research aiming to improve the monitoring systems of nuclear energy production.

An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA  

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a derivative of the immune system of bacteria, CRISPR enables double strands of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be cut.  This makes it possible to specifically modify a targeted gene in plant, animal and human cells. Ultimately, CRISPR became a preferred method in the search for treatments for acquired or hereditary diseases.
