The developers of a unique type of lightweight 3D-printed back brace that can sense how well it fits patients claims it could result in better scoliosis therapy.
Many materials experience a phase transition, such as a metal to a superconductor, or liquid water to ice when there is a change in temperature.
Canada, like many nations, has committed to cutting its emissions in line with international agreements on climate change mitigation.

The United States generates more plastic trash than any other country – about 46.3 million tons of it -- or 287 pounds per person a year, according to a 2020 study.
Many emerging technologies related to sustainable energy, such as grid-scale energy storage systems and electric cars, require high-performance rechargeable batteries. Unfortunately, conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have almost reached their theoretical limit, and need to be supplanted by batteries with higher theoretical capacity and energy density.
Electric cars are the future; they will help reduce air pollution and end our dependence on fossil fuels. However, there is one glaring problem with this potentially disruptive technology: the availability of sufficient lithium (Li) to produce all these car batteries.
