High performing asphalt pavements are vital to the continual operation of North America’s transportation network. Asphalt, which is a mixture of asphalt cement, aggregates, and fillers, is paved at high temperatures and compacted to provide a smooth, waterproof, and safe wearing coarse for vehicles. Over the 15-to-20-year lifespan of the pavement, the asphalt surface can […]

This project proposes the development of a comprehensive Portable Charging System (PCS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) integrating Level III DC fast charging and wireless charging technologies. The system aims to enhance EV charging convenience and flexibility by providing a compact and portable solution for on-the-go charging. The Level III DC fast charging capability ensures rapid […]

Point-of-Care DNA tests have grown in importance throughout recent years. Incorporation of devices in patient beside treatment requires fast turn-around times for results as well as economic feasibility. Spartan Bioscience, a local biotechnology company, has developed a technology that can detect abnormalities in a person’s DNA. In an effort to develop next generation technology, Spartan […]

This project aims to improve the monitoring and assessment of critical infrastructure using machine learning and satellite technology. By integrating machine learning techniques, we aim to improve the accuracy of detecting structural and geotechnical deterioration in public infrastructure, such as marine port wharves and airport runways. Led by experts from the NRC’s Construction Research Centre […]

This project aims at improving LED technology through the utilization of advanced atomically thin materials. It seeks to create a scalable method for fabricating high-performance, energy-efficient, and flexible LEDs, addressing challenges in scalability and reproducibility. By combining CVD-grown transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD)-grown semiconducting oxides, the project promises to advance research […]

Three-dimensional (3D) reality capture is an umbrella term for imaging techniques used to create accurate models of real scenes. An important reality capture technology is lidar or laser scanner devices that collect three-dimensional measurements of objects they can see. Laser scanners can be deployed on aircraft, a surveying tripod or on a self-driving car. Regardless […]

ICF construction is an alternative for wood-frame construction for residential buildings which potentially has higher energy performance compared. However, this potential advantage has to be measured and compared. This study compares the energy performance of residential buildings constructed with Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) to those of conventional wood frame buildings in four cities in three […]
