Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant #superbugs - a Top 10 global public health issue. Researchers at @mcgill.ca @healthsciences.mcgill.ca have discovered enzymes that use a never-before-seen mechanism to confer resistance. https://bit.ly/48ZVXhv

Take a tour of Canada's only synchrotron research facility! Located in Saskatoon, the CLS produces intensely bright light that scientists use to study materials at the molecular level. Over 1,000 researchers use the CLS every year. Get free tour tickets: https://bit.ly/3Y7pjU3

Researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children and @utoronto.ca used special imaging techniques at the CLS to create a high-resolution, 3D map of curved fish spines, and noted they act very much like human spines as #scoliosis worsens. Full story: https://bit.ly/4nvOomR

Lithium is a #CriticalMineral used in #batteries for #EVs, grid storage, and a host of personal electronics. Researchers at Queen's University used the CLS to identify a better way to extract the critical mineral from its ore. https://bit.ly/3WubIWi

Researchers from @usask.ca have developed a 3D-printed model of a human #lung that could lead to improved prevention and treatment of diseases such as #tuberculosis and #CysticFibrosis. @vido.org https://bit.ly/3KCSnQ8

Researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children and @utoronto.ca are studying the spines of zebrafish to better understand scoliosis in children and teens. Their work could one day lead to the development of early interventions and non-invasive treatments. https://bit.ly/42otRZ6.

Could rock lumps on the ocean floor be a potential source of valuable metals? Researchers from the Geological Survey of Finland @gtk-fi.bsky.social used the CLS to study what these these deposits are made of, how they form, and how they change over time. https://bit.ly/4pqX6V8

Canada’s #oilsands are an important source of energy and economic activity. Researchers from the University of Alberta are using the CLS to find more efficient, environmentally friendly ways to process the #bitumen that's extracted there. https://bit.ly/46EnylB
