The rapid development of human activities has caused a worldwide increase of nitrogen and phosphorus in rivers, lakes and coastal waters. Sewage and fertilizers are two examples of a variety of different sources responsible for this increase in nitrogen. Despite being an important nutrient for cell growth formation, nitrogen is often detrimental to the environment […]

Metal nanoparticles have drawn much attention during the last few years due to their unique properties, particularly their high catalytic activity in many reactions. Catalytic activity increases when the particle size decreases, thus the most active catalysts are below 5 nm in size. The objective of this project is to investigate the catalytic performance for […]

Pour réduire efficacement la consommation énergétique dans le bâtiment, la nouvelle réglementation thermique 2012 impose de construire des bâtiments ayant une consommation inférieure à 50kWh/m².an. Dans cet optique, le projet de recherche constitue à évaluer si l’utilisation de matériaux à changements de phase dans la structure ou l’enveloppe d’un bâtiment serait pertinent comme solution de […]

Although radiation therapy has come a long way in the successful treatment of some cancers, there are still problems that arise. The radiation used to treat tumors not only targets malignant cells but healthy cells as well, wreaking havoc by creating reactive free electrons in the aqueous cell environment. We propose the study of gold […]
