The last century substantially advanced our understanding of the laws of physics and the cosmos, but many questions still remain unanswered. This project aims to bring us a step closer to unravelling the details of the beginning of our universe. Many researchers expect that gravity has a quantum nature, but a concrete theory is yet […]

Le projet de recherche cherche à examiner les espaces publics à Hanoi à travers la focale des jeunes et de leurs usages. Ceux-ci se situent dans un entre-deux, reproduisant des pratiques vietnamiennes traditionnelles de l’espace (forte utilisation des espaces publics, sociabilisation, pratiques sportives et consommatrices) et introduisant des nouveaux usages liés à l’ouverture du Vietnam […]

The Big Bang is predicted to have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter; however, the universe is dominated by matter and there is much less of its counterpart. The ALPHA (Antihydrogen Laser PHysics Apparatus) collaboration, based out of CERN, investigates the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem by creating and performing experiments on antihydrogen to compare it […]

Quantum information processing is a game changer for information technology: currently information is representable as strings of binary digits, or bits, and logical processing is performed according to the principles of boolean algebra. Quantum mechanics allows us to work with superpositions of states and perform quantum logic, which preserves the coherence vital for quantum information […]

Young workers face an increased likelihood of injury or death on the job compared to more experienced workers. Safety training is considered a key element to help reduces these numbers, and improve the safety of young workers. Therefore, the goal of this project is to better understand the current state of work safety training for […]

Wireless technologies offer new opportunities in the field of telecommunications and computer networks. Wireless sensor networks are a new technology that has emerged after the great technological progress in the development of smart sensors and powerful processors. The city of Trois-Rivieres is currently in the heart of a project to develop a smart public lighting […]

La gestion des déchets plastiques est difficile à gérer par leur quantité mais aussi leur recyclage coûteux et sélectif. Les plastiques non recyclés sont incinérés ou libérés dans l’environnement, ce qui entraine une accumulation dans le milieu. Ces dernières années, des microorganismes, (bactéries, champignon…) ont été identifiés et isolés pour leur capacité à dégrader différents […]

The development of international standards and codes led to the creation of safe and properly designed fully cured masonry structures capable of withstanding lateral loads induced by wind or earthquakes. However, as the age of masonry plays an important role on its strength, it was reported that before it is fully-cured, masonry is vulnerable to […]

Lubricants can lose viscosity when exposed to high temperatures, leading to engine damage. Viscosity modifiers can be added to address this issue. When applying these additives to lubricating oils, it becomes vital to assess the rheological behavior. As the microstructure of these additives play a golden role in their functionality in lubricating oils, it’s fruitful […]

MÉGAPHONE a pour mission de développer les compétences socioprofessionnelles des jeunes par la culture scientifique. Par le présent projet, Projet Mégaphone fait appel à une étudiante de maîtrise en gestion de l’innovation sociale pour lui confier un mandat de développement stratégique. Il comporte plusieurs éléments, notamment, l’élaboration d’un schéma de transformation sociale et une stratégie […]

Le frêne noir est une espèce emblématique des milieux humide du Québec, mais est actuellement menacé de disparition en raison de la pression combinée causée par l’agrile du frêne, un insecte ravageur exotique, et le changement climatique. Les environnements propices au frêne noir sont aussi souvent petits et donc difficilement suivis par les méthodes d’inventaire […]

The intern’s project will consist of measurements of important plasma characteristics for confinement, such as ion/electron densities and temperatures. This will be done at Nihon University where they have a one-of-a-kind Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) collisional merging device. This device generates and magnetically-confines a plasma for the purposes of plasma fusion research and is an alternative […]
