Does being seen really make cyclists safer on the road?
Researchers from the UBC Okanagan School of Engineering have determined motorists tended to give cyclists wearing high-visibility vests more room on the road, compared to cyclists without high-visibility clothing.
UBC researchers create washable sensor that can be woven into materials
Forget the smart watch. Bring on the smart shirt.
New international collaboration seeks to improve wireless networks
As wireless networks are being pushed to their limits through the increased use of social media applications, video streaming, and a multitude of connected devices such as sensors and vehicles, researchers at the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Okanagan campus and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia are collaborating to optimize these networks through restructuring of wireless subnetworks.
Safer donation bins a step closer to reality
A project to prevent people from getting trapped in clothing donations bins has received a boost in funding.
New research from UBC Okanagan links heart rate to heart plaque stability
Results of a new study by UBC researchers suggests heart rate is a predicator for the mechanical instability of rupture-prone plaque.
Clearing an icy windshield is about to get easier, says UBC engineer
Scraping an icy windshield can be a seasonal struggle for those that live in colder climates. But engineers from UBC’s Okanagan campus are aiming to ease that winter frustration with a new surface coating that can shed ice from large areas using little effort.
UBC Okanagan engineers make injectable tissues a reality
A simple injection that can help regrow damaged tissue has long been the dream of physicians and patients alike. A new study from researchers at UBC Okanagan takes a big step towards making that dream a reality with a device that makes encapsulating cells much faster, cheaper and more effective.
