What are eclipse glasses and why do we need them?
Eclipse glasses/viewers are by far the easiest form of eye protection used for eclipse observation. They are designed to block out 99% of the Sun’s light, allowing one to safely observe the partial phases around totality. (1/4)

The Queen’s Relectric Car Team is working to convert gas vehicles to electric.
“We have six sub-teams with dedicated tasks for the project. And we’ve done a big overhaul of what needs to be done with the Jeep to fully electrify it, to fully convert it.”

It was a privilege to witness @ErinLeeQU's creativity and rigour as this paper came together and learn more about primate evolution from @nate_m_young. Our approach may provide insights into relationships among shoulder function, human evolution, and shoulder health! @QueensMech
(1/5) Excited to share our new insights into primate shoulder range-of-motion (ROM), now available #OpenAccess in #ProcB! @nate_m_young @RainbowBiomech
We introduce an in silico model to explore the relationship among morphology, ROM, and behaviour

Xian Wang’s research involves injecting swarms of microrobots into human tissue to seek and treat disease.
“It really was a science fiction idea at the beginning. But that research is happening now. Here we are.”
