Globally, Canada has the highest prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis relies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor lesion development over time in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. Despite its wide utility, MRI is not easily accessible. MRI requires a designated medical facility and expertise? is expensive, and needs to be done […]

In thermal-solvent assisted gravity drainage recovery processes, bitumen viscosity reduction takes places under combined effect of heating and dilution. Imperial has been optimizing the existing solvent recovery processes and developing new technologies to improve the efficiencies and environmental performance of the heavy oil production operations. Recent focus of the company has been in the area […]

Asthma affects 1 in 8 Canadian children and is the leading cause of pediatric hospitalizations with costs to Canadian health care systems estimated to exceed 4.2Billion/year by 2030. While the causes are still debated, infant prematurity is a strong predictor for asthma. The altered gut bacterial community (microbiome) in preemies is suspected to contribute to […]

Carbon Capture and Storage is projected to play a key role in achieving the federal government’s target of reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. CMC Research Institutes, in partnership with the University of Calgary, has established the Containment and Monitoring Institute Field Research Station (FRS), a state-of-the-art testbed facility to develop, test […]

We recently studied Western Canadian dairy farmers’ perspectives on outdoor access for dairy cows and identified 3 key areas requiring more research. Participants cited a lack of research on the effects of outdoor access for dry cows on transition cow health and farm profitability as a barrier to making an informed decision to provide outdoor […]

With our increasing dependence on technology, the total energy consumption from electronic devices for computation is projected to surpass all other contributions. By creating atomic-scale devices at the fundamental limits in size and energy cost, we can reduce their overall energy consumption while increasing computational power. While proof of concept devices are already routinely created, […]

Bio-materials can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate a rapid transition to a bio-based leconomy. Thus, developing novel and innovative technologies and products related to bio-materials sectors is crucial. This has !resulted in extensive research into the development of biomaterials. Most research efforts have focused on materials selection, ‘fabrication, and […]
