TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, […]

Electrifying the chemical industry is a necessity towards a more sustainable future. A potential approach to achieve this ambitious goal, is the use of plasma catalysis. Herein, a plasma is generated by applying a high voltage to generate a discharge in the gas mixture of interest. In the same volume, catalysts can be packed to […]

Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling is one of the most powerful tools in modern synthetic chemistry, with is collaborative discovery recognised with the 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This class of reactions has had a huge impact on the way in which chemists think about building fine chemicals, because it allows for clipping of two molecules together […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

In this project, we aim to develop a secure communication system using cutting-edge quantum technology. Specifically, we will develop the existing Measurement Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) system built by Quantized Technologies Inc. (QTi) to add Optical Side Channel for Classical Heralding. Our intern will conduct a thorough literature review, assess available equipment, integrate […]

Using 33S to understand the extent of assimilation in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex: Implication of PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation

Quantum experiments and technologies often require temperatures as low as one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero. “Cryogen-free dilution refrigerators” are advanced instruments to reach and maintain such temperatures simply and economically. However, they come with the price of significant vibrations – mechanical noise that can be detrimental for many applications. The low-temperature community explored […]

Rydberg atom-based sensors are a room temperature quantum technology for detecting radio frequency waves. These sensors have advantages such as electromagnetic transparency and ultrabroadband carrier frequency detection capability that are not possible to obtain with conventional antennas. The advantages lead to a host of applications in radio frequency technologies such as communications, particularly 5G and […]

This research project will systematically evaluate data-driven mode decomposition techniques (POD, Spectral POD (SPOD), finite impulse response SPOD (FIR-SPOD) and a machine-learning (ML) based nonlinear method) for separating and reattaching flows using existing experimental and numerical databases of a laminar boundary layer approaching an FFS. There will provide three significant results: (1) critical insight as […]

This research project, to be undertaken during a 4-month internship at Arizona State University, aims to develop an artificial chemistry system to investigate the influence of pore system topology on molecular complexity, using Assembly Theory as a measure. The project’s significance lies in its potential to enhance our understanding of Assembly Theory, with implications for […]

The project “Unveiling the Structure of Science: An Information-Theoretic Approach to Co-citation Analysis” aims to advance our understanding of the interconnected landscape of scientific research by applying principles of information theory to co-citation networks. By identifying significant intellectual linkages across disciplines, countries, and institutions, this research seeks to illuminate the underlying patterns and dynamics that […]

WestMET Group Canada operates four coal mines in Alberta. Humalite, naturally occurring from organic matter decomposition, is produced in large quantities during mining. Humic products from coal wastes may be more suitable than other sources due to high humic content, rawmaterial availability, low cost, application ease, and reduced coal waste accumulation and environmental impact. Westmoreland […]
