Maintaining all of the equipment in the payload designed for space/near-space operation is a challenge. Because there is insufficient air in the high-altitude environment, the only way to remove heat from sensitive equipment is through conduction and radiation cooling. Other stringent constraints for such payloads, including power consumption, size limitation, and weight limitation, require thermal […]

Even at end of life, automotive rubber is a very resilient product as shown by the difficulty in recycling/reusing rubber tires. Based on a technology to dissolve rubber tires developed in our lab, this project will seek to use “less chemistry” to create siliconized rubber crumb from used tires. The original quality of the automotive […]

Wildland fires in western Canada are increasing in intensity and the area burned due to extensive climate warming and drying. This has caused fires to become less predictable for fire management agencies, with up to $1 billion per year spent on fire mitigation strategies. As such, the methods used for fire reduction in Canada in […]

Internship for Project Coordinating and Project Management of a Mechanical Contractor. This will give the to be determined intern lots of experience, along with learning some updated practices from the intern that we can introduce to our current model.

Nanoacademic has recently released a commercial computer-aided design software package called QTCAD for quantum hardware based on spin qubits in semiconductors, one of the leading candidates for the implementation of a quantum computer. While several demonstrations of the tool in realistic operation conditions have already been completed with academic and industrial partners, these demonstrations were […]
