Ce projet appuie les efforts de restauration du lac Osisko, situé à Rouyn-Noranda, un plan d’eau fortement contaminé par des activités industrielles. Le but est d’évaluer le potentiel d’une méthode écologique appelée phytoremédiation, qui utilise des plantes pour extraire les polluants. L’étude portera sur le myriophylle à épis, une plante aquatique envahissante déjà présente dans […]

Connected Cars is an emerging technology that aims at enhancing driving experience and improving safety, productivity, and integrity of transportation systems. Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS) is a leader in telematics and infotainment technologies, including the convergence of both technologies in delivering the ultimate connected car experience. One of the core components in connected cars […]

This project will help the partner organization develop a business plan and commercialization strategy for a new technology that uses light to turn methane into clean hydrogen and valuable carbon nanomaterials without releasing carbon dioxide. By building a clear profile of potential customers, mapping out how a production plant would operate, designing a business model, […]

The goal of this project will be to facilitate the commercializations of LuzCornea, a material to help repair corneas for people with poor vision. To do this, a way to make large volumes of LuzCornea material must be developed in order to help as many people as possible with poor vision and to reduce the […]

L’objectif principal de ce projet est que le stagiaire réalise une étude de marché approfondie dans le(s) secteur des matériaux de construction durable pour les applications potentielles de panneaux de construction biosourcé à base de chènevotte. Grâce à ce projet, le stagiaire interagira avec les principaux acteurs de l’industrie pour évaluer le potentiel du marché. […]

Betavoltaic power sources harvest the energy of radioisotopes to generate electricity. These devices offer a solution to the limitations of traditional lithium-ion batteries. They can provide uninterrupted and long-lasting power for critical systems such as subcutaneous medical implants, remote sensors for water supply lines, and monitoring systems for defence. Betavoltaic batteries transform recycled radioactive waste […]

In remote and rural regions, where communication infrastructure is sparse and GPS is unreliable, emergency Search and Rescue (SAR) operations should be fast, reliable, and cost-effective. Existing technologies, such as thermal imaging and mobile-based systems like Cellular Airborne Sensor for Search and Rescue (CASSAR), depend on costly sensors, human interpretation, or the presence of a […]

EdgeStar AI is building an all-in-one autonomous lawn care robot designed to handle every major task needed to maintain large residential and commercial lawns. Unlike current robotic mowers that only cut grass, our robot can mow, weed, edge, and manage the full lawn maintenance process without any human involvement. It is fully electric, uses AI […]

Emerging contaminants (ECs) have become a significant environmental concern due to their widespread presence and risks to health and ecosystems. Meanwhile, agricultural waste is also increasing, providing a valuable source for high-value materials. Traditional detection methods are costly, slow, and require specialized equipment and time-consuming laboratory analyses. Electrochemical sensors offer a low-cost, rapid, and sensitive […]

The proposed research explores the use of mid-air haptics using ultrasound waves on the dorsal side of the hand, with envisioned applications for the dynamic display of haptic cues while reading embossed braille or tactile graphics.

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre l’impact de l’acidification des océans causée par les émissions d’azote et de soufre, en complément des effets déjà étudiés des gaz à effet de serre. Il développera un modèle global permettant d’évaluer ces effets sur la biodiversité marine et d’identifier les zones les plus vulnérables. Cette approche […]

Stablecoins are an emerging application of blockchain technology that tether the value of a cryptocurrency token to a traditional, ‘real-world’ asset (most commonly the American dollar). As stablecoin adoption grows and this technology becomes increasingly interconnected with traditional finance infrastructure (banks, payment companies, federal reserves, etc.), this project will explore the current methodology for the […]
