Rising material costs, lack of quality control, labour shortages, challenging climates and significant on-site waste continue to be the challenges encountered by the Canadian construction industry. The collaboration between the research team and NEXII aims to develop the much-needed technical know-how for the new generation building panel products to address these challenges. This research concentrates […]

Mon projet de doctorat consiste à développer un capteur optique pour détecter des concentrations de micro-ARNs de l’ordre du femtomolaire alors que la sensibilité classique du système utilisé est de l’ordre du nanomolaire. Pour gagner ces cinq ordres de grandeur, nous visons à combiner deux méthodes d’amplification du signal. Dans le laboratoire Charles Fabry à […]

Viridios désire innover dans le domaine des ingrédients pharmaceutiques actifs en développant une technologie de production industrielle par culture cellulaire végétale. Ceci afin d’extraire des ingrédients actifs spécifiquement et uniquement produits par la biomasse végétale. La technologie en développement par la Polytechnique permettra à Viridios d’offrir des ingrédients médicinaux aux compagnies pharmaceutiques. Viridios n’est pas […]

In remote and especially indigenous communities, access to expert healthcare is often lacking. Human Teleoperation is a novel framework in which the input and actuation are carried out by people, but with robot-like precision. This is achieved by having a follower wearing a headset follow a virtual tool that is projected into their scene and […]

Eleven million people are living with diabetes or prediabetes in Canada. As many as 15% of people with diabetes develop a foot ulcer, usually due to neuropathy, a lack of pain feedback, which would otherwise allow a person to recognize areas of high pressure or friction on the foot. These foot ulcers can develop infections, […]

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become a widely used machine learning tool in many different and broad fields of application. ANNs may be trained from training examples to perform various prediction or classification tasks. However, one of the problems exhibited by ANNs is that they typically overlearn the training examples and perform poorly on new […]

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) vibrometry is a noninvasive tool for functional imaging of the middle ear. It provides vibrational responses and also anatomical images of the same ear. Our objective here was to explore the potential of OCT vibration measurements of the middle ear structures, to distinguish among middle-ear disorders. Our approach was to build […]

Network operators and telecom vendors intend to ensure the security of mobile networks. However, the time between discovering a new security vulnerability in the network and developing and deploying its effective fixes can be delayed weeks and more often in months. Thus, it leaves a window to the attacker to cause more damage. Most of […]

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of the hard-to-reach areas of the hydraulic turbine blades using abrasive waterjet polishing method. By this way, the energy lost caused by parietal friction between the turbine blades and the flow will be decreased and consequently the efficiency of the turbine will be improved. Previously, […]

INO, is currently developing thin, flexible and large area printed optical sensors for multiple imaging applications spanning visible to terahertz wavelengths. These applications often require the need of specialty optics, this is where superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are thought to be advantageous. Superlenses and metamaterial passive optical components are advanced technologies that can […]

At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally. We offer practical, hands-on experience-based guidance, and technical advice for planning, design, construction, and operation of large-scale applications of CCS […]

Osteoporosis is a prevailing skeletal disease that was diagnosed in over 2.3 million Canadians as of 2016-2017, with 80% of this population being women. Osteoporosis imposes many health complications such as increased likelihood of bone fractures and implant failures. Since bone is a dynamic material that is constantly remodelling, it’s important to understand how osteoporotic […]
