Global warming is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) trap heat, causing the planet’s temperatures to rise. Currently, the challenge is to achieve systems that solve problems such as environmental pollution through the design of green products and sustainable processes. […]

Le projet de recherche de Téo Clergereaux dans le groupe du Pr Luc Stafford au département de physique de l’université de Montréal vise à étudier le fonctionnement d’un plasma lors d’une injection pulsée de gaz. Cette étude reposera sur des mesures de spectroscopie d’émission optiques temporelles. Cette étude s’intègre dans un projet beaucoup plus large […]

This project aims to investigate market demand for an emerging type of quantum computing system in partnership with QV-Studio. The quantum computing system has to potential to accelerate the timeline for useful quantum computing in the domain of materials and chemistry simulation with applications in chemical process design, materials design, and pharmaceuticals. This opportunity is […]

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) recently introduced stringent regulations for the treatment of ballast water. Ultra-violet (UV) light is a useful technology in a ballast water treatment system (BWTS), for inactivating phytoplankton which could be invasive and harmful to humans and the environment. UV damages DNA and prevents replication, but the vital stain methods […]

We are pioneering a state-of-the-art instrument that enables 3D imaging of single electron spins in individual spin-labeled biomolecules with unparalleled nanometer spatial resolution in volumes as small as (50-nm)³. This innovative capability allows for the direct determination of coordination among spin-labeled molecules, providing unique insights into the structure of biomolecular complexes that existing technologies cannot […]

Ce travail porte sur les électrolytes solides pour batteries à lithium métal, en particulier les électrolytes céramiques, qui offrent une bonne conductivité ionique mais sont difficiles à produire par les méthodes classiques. L’impression 3D est explorée pour simplifier la mise en forme et optimiser les propriétés des électrolytes, permettant de personnaliser les formes et compositions […]

Chemical property predictions using quantum machine learning (QML) lie at the intersection of machine learning, quantum computing, and computational chemistry. QML models often use parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) that abstract gate-level quantum operations but offer limited flexibility in adjustable parameters. To enhance QML model performance and generalizability, incorporating pulse-level operations, which lie below gate-level in […]

Ce projet vise à développer des matériaux composites 100% cellulose pour des applications dans l’emballage électronique biosourcé et biocompostable. L’idée consiste à plastifier le diacétate de cellulose par greffage chimique des chaines de polycaprolactone (PCL) flexibles afin de fabriquer la matrice CA-g-PCL. Les greffons PCL ont l’avantage d’avoir une température de transition vitreuse basse (Tg […]

Gravitational lensing occurs when a massive object, such as a galaxy cluster, bends the fabric of spacetime, turning it into a magnifying glass that focuses the light from a distant object behind it. This phenomenon allows astronomers to observe faint astronomical objects and some of the earliest faraway galaxies or black holes that would otherwise […]

Experimental development of novel sensor hardware for measuring ammonia in marine environments. This includes prototype development, preliminary testing and validation.

Stream discharge, a measurement of the volume of water passing a location along a stream, is an essential variable in many engineering and scientific projects. Discharge can be measured by injecting tracer material (such as common table salt or coloured dyes) into a stream and observing how the material mixes in the stream channel. For […]

In this project, our focus is on advancing and understanding the functionalization of polymers through the post-polymerization process that equips them with activated functional groups. We aim to fine-tune the properties of dynamic, stimuli-responsive polymers without compromising their initial structures. Rheological studies of polymer structure allows us to use DLP technology to prepare architectures and […]
