Better breast cancer screening

Omar RamahiInexpensive new technology promises benefits including more frequent tests, earlier detection and enormous health-care savings

Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have developed new, inexpensive technology that could save lives and money by routinely screening women for breast cancer without exposure to radiation.

Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have developed a tiny, battery-free, self-powering sensor that could dramatically reduce the cost of protecting buildings from damaging water leaks.

The new device, housed in a box just three centimetres square, is the product of a collaboration between professors Norman Zhou and George Shaker.

KITCHENER -- Driving in the winter is more challenging than on sunny summer days, even for self-driving cars.

Researchers at University of Waterloo are conducting studies to help train future self-driving cars to handle wintry conditions.

They say it's the first publically-available set of data in the world for self-driving cars in winter.
