Sooth measure and publish since 2021 the most important properties of skis to improve the customer shopping experience. The response of experienced skiers has been generally highly positive. Skiers enjoy being able to compare products with real measurements, and many find that they can relate their on-snow experience to these measurements relatively easily. Two main […]

To contribute to society’s decarbonization goals, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry must rapidly transition to low-carbon buildings. Low carbon construction materials and other building technologies are contributing to this decarbonization, but the rate of change for this transition remains low. A range of technical issues must be addressed to transition to low-carbon buildings, […]

Les portes palières sont des portes automatiques, souvent vitrées, que l’on retrouve en bordure de voie au niveau des quais des stations de métro. Elles permettent de séparer physiquement les quais et la voie de métro, dans le but d’empêcher toute intrusion non désirée. Ces portes sont conçues pour s’ouvrir uniquement lors de l’embarquement et […]

L’asclépiade est une plante sauvage longtemps considérée comme une « mauvaise herbe » mais qui produit, entre autres, une fibre chaude, souple, résistante et hydrophobe, que l’on appelle dorénavant soie d’Amérique. Cette fibre économique, qui est déjà utilisée dans l’industrie textile, offre une faible densité du fait de sa structure creuse, ce qui la rend […]

Power system policies are broadly on track to escalate the use of Electric Vehicles (EV) in automotive industry. The increasing interest in use of EVs not only intensifies the demand in electric power but also introduces further challenges such as efficient and timely power distribution to EVs. Existing challenges in EV power charging relies on […]

Hyper-Successful tech startups have been created by Canadians, however, many of them are headquartered in the United States and do not contribute to the Canadian job market. The creation of valuable Canadian startups is necessary to provide jobs for our fast-growing population. We want to keep our talent in Canada to grow our economy. To […]

Although Li-ion batteries are currently the dominant energy storage solution in electric vehicles, they currently do not possess enough energy density required for long driving ranges at a reasonable cost. One solution is to utilize Zn-air batteries since they have both a high theoretical energy density and contain abundant raw materials allowing for low production […]

The aim of this project is to establish a long term collaboration between researchers at NRC/McMaster University and KIT, in order to develop machine learning (ML) methods to support and boost research on clean energy materials. Initial contact between Canadian and German researchers was established within the German Canadian Materials Acceleration Center (GC-MAC), which aims […]

Efficient yet simple energy storage schemes and smart electronics will not only boost PV system efficiencies but it will also lead to many innovative applications at the system level such as solid state lighting, active bypass diodes, bifacial configurations etc. This research project seeks to develop a novel and efficient on-cell energy storage scheme. By […]

Urban stormwater re-use is gaining acceptance in Canadian jurisdictions as a means to offset anticipated increases in potable water demand from urbanization and climate change. S2e Technologies has partnered with Queen’s University to determine if a net economic benefit can be achieved from potable water savings in large-scale stormwater re-use facilities in Canada. The new […]
