Dans un contexte où l’approvisionnement énergétique mondial du 21e siècle est un enjeu majeur, le développement de sources d’énergie renouvelables suscite l’attention croissante de la communauté scientifique et industrielle. Ce stage Accélération au sein de l’entreprise Saint-Jean Photochimie Inc. visera le développement de nouveaux photosensibilisateurs à base de dérivés dipyrrométhènes cyclométalés sur des complexes de […]

The overall research project undertaken by the University of Calgary graduate students will examine the effects of exercise on young adults 18-35 years of age with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Areas of investigation include cerebral blood flow changes, as well as sleep behavioral improvements. By doing research such as this, we will justify the use […]

One of the goals of modern bioanalytical chemistry is the simultaneous (multiplexed) detection of multiple biomarkers in individual cells. Biomarkers are defined as characteristic proteins, genes, or small molecules that can be measured and evaluated as indicators of normal biological or pathological state of a cell. Mass cytometry is a recently developed technique developed by […]

Recently we have demonstrated that multicore-shell nanoparticles, made of cadmium telluride and zinc oxide, have great potential to be applied into the field of renewable energies due to the ability to split water into H+ and · OH upon irradiation of visible light. Herein we originally propose the utilization of those nanoparticles for a new […]

The successful commercialization of the automotive fuel cell requires lowering costs of key components in the fuel cell stack, such as the catalyst materials at the centre of the electrochemical cell generating the energy. Nanoparticles of platinum supported on mesoporous carbons are typical materials being used for the current generation of the fuel cell stack. […]

The current approach for testing compounds of interest in blood such as drugs or nutrients involves drawing blood samples into vials that then require refrigeration prior to testing. Since transportation to remote laboratories is challenging, people need to go into medical labs to have their blood tested. This research will develop improved techniques that enable […]

The proposed project focuses on the research & development of efficient electrode materials for use in the Chlorate Process that produces bleaching agents used in the pulp & paper industry. As an electrochemical process, significant portions of the production costs of chlorate are attributable to electrical power consumption; therefore, improvements in energetic efficiency would result […]

Un catalogue de produits chimiques composés d’oligomères hétérocycliques aromatiques à 5 membres symétriques et asymétriques comportant des unités thiophène, furane ou pyrrole et de faible teneur en métaux sera créé. Les composés d’intérêt seront issus principalement des réactions sans utilisation de catalyseurs métalliques, notamment le couplage de Stteter suivi de la réaction Paal-Knorr. Les réactions […]

Dielectrics are insulators that respond to an applied electric field by creating a charge separation in the material. The strength of the dielectric response is quantified by the dielectric constant, or permittivity. The charge separation in the applied field can be used as a form of energy storage in capacitors, or to externally modulate the […]
