Graphene sulfur is a composite material of growing interest due to its unique properties and its potential for multi-sector innovation. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene, a carbon atomic monolayer, has sparked a research effort to modify its properties by modifying its chemistry. In fact, graphene-sulfur is graphene onto which sulfur atoms are grafted. Its […]

More than a hundred thousand documented orphaned oil and gas wells are known to exist in the United States, with potentially over a million remaining undocumented. Due to funding shortfalls, many orphaned wells remain unplugged and are negatively impacting human health, degrading the environment, and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane. Nearly $5B […]

La transformation des crustacés est d’une grande importance économique au Québec. Cependant, les usines de transformation génèrent des quantités importantes de déchets solides et liquides dans l’environnement qui pourraient être valorisés. Les eaux de cuisson, plus particulièrement, contiennent des protéines, minéraux et des molécules responsables des arômes et des saveurs. Bien qu’il y ait eu […]

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

CdZnTe (CZT) semiconductor crystals are used as X-ray detectors in state-of-the-art medical CT scanners. These devices are sensitive to individual X-ray photons and enable tissue selective X-ray imaging with reduced radiation dose to the patient. The CZT detectors function by converting absorbed X-rays into electrical signals that are subsequently analyzed by a computer to make […]

Le réseau électrique d’Hydro-Québec est protégé par un peu plus de 9000 disjoncteurs haute et moyenne tension. La maintenance des disjoncteurs est d’une importance absolue pour assurer leur fiabilité et leur longévité de service. Cependant, le réseau est vieillissant et une maintenance systématique n’est pas une solution optimale pour garantir leur fiabilité qui change avec […]

This collaborative initiative between the Terahertz Physics Lab at IISER Bhopal (India) and the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) Lab (Canada) combines the expertise of the individual groups in the fields of Material Science, Condensed Matter Systems, and intense Terahertz (THz) radiation to drive novel research. The project utilizes intense terahertz pulses to explore new […]

In agriculture, header losses, indicating the loss of grains at the combine harvester’s header, usually contribute the most of harvesting losses. While not entirely avoidable, their impact can be significantly reduced through careful monitoring of the harvesting process. In this proposed project, the intern aims to explore microwave-based object detection technology as a solution to […]

The proposed research project at Tabor Lake, led by a dedicated intern, focuses on transforming the overgrown aquatic weeds in the lake into a valuable resource. These weeds, currently a nuisance, will be converted into organic compost through innovative and eco-friendly methods. This compost can then be used to enrich soil, supporting agriculture and gardening. […]

A substantial proportion of the lithium used in energy storage and numerous other applications is extracted from naturally occurring continental brines. The recycling of the lithium-ion batteries, which are experiencing a sharp increase in demand, also involves extraction of lithium from solutions containing other battery metals. The proposed research targets the development of sorbents for […]

Le projet s’intéresse à la création et la manipulation de couplage optique fort entre un film métallique et des nanostructures d’or. L’idée est d’exploiter les phénomènes résonants afin de contrôler et améliorer les performances d’émission des boites quantiques utilisés dans des dispositifs quantiques. Plusieurs étapes de fabrication et de caractérisation sont nécessaires afin d’obtenir les […]

Ce projet porte sur la compréhension et la gestion de l’énergie thermique apportée par un laser impulsionnel (excitation très courte) pour modifier la surface d’un biocapteur. L’étudiant s’intéressera au contrôle de cette énergie (répartition et durée) pour enlever les molécules d’une surface et optimiser ensuite leur position pour le développement d’un capteur plus sensible. Des […]
