The machine offers a first-of-its-kind glimpse into the future of clean energy for urban buildings.
Developed at SFU's School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering by professor Majid Bahrami, the Sorption Heat Transformer and thermal storage System (SORTABO) technology converts waste heat in district heating to cooling, enabling sustainable air conditioning in buildings without electricity, moving parts, harmful chemicals, or new infrastructure./sfunews/stories/2025/08/sfu--burnaby-unveil-waste-heat-to-energy-innovation-to-redefine-2025-08-12T18:00:00.000Z2025-08-14T18:56:37.308ZBrain wiring in early childhood could hold key to flagging future ADHD risk, SFU study says noemail@noemail.orgrmdA new study by researchers at 91ÅÝܽ is shedding light on how the brain’s wiring in early childhood lays the foundation for attention skills— a key step toward characterizing healthy developmental patterns that could help identify young children at risk for attention-related challenges like ADHD.
Published in the journal eNeuro, the study examined how the brain’s structure and function develop and interact during the critical early childhood years. Importantly, the findings highlight early childhood as a window of opportunity for identifying and supporting children who may be at risk for attention difficulties. /sfunews/stories/2025/08/brain-wiring-in-early-childhood-could-hold-key-to-flagging-futur2025-08-07T15:00:00.000Z2025-08-11T18:27:59.492ZSFU’s Mark Jaccard awarded Order of British Columbia for climate leadershipnoemail@noemail.orghjs1/sfunews/stories/2025/08/sfus-mark-jaccard-awarded-order-of-british-columbia-for-climate-leadership2025-08-06T20:08:00.000Z2025-08-06T21:49:15.956Z
