Radioactive medical isotopes lead-203 (203Pb) and lead-212 (212Pb), which are compatible with nuclear imaging and cancer therapy, respectively, have recently gained international academic and commercial attention due to successes in clinical trials. Through initial imaging with 203Pb-labeled drugs, physicians can determine if the patient will be suitable for treatment with the 212Pb-labeled counterpart, allowing for […]

Climate change due to CO2 emission as a result of burning fossil fuels has become an urgent environmental concern. Moving towards developing clean and sustainable energy sources is inevitable. Expansion of electrification in the energy sector is one of the effective approaches to developing cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Metal-air batteries that are assembled […]

Disruptive antenna technologies are required to provide performance and fabrication advantages in developing broadband wireless application products in emerging upper microwave and millimeterwave radio bands. The internship will investigate the feasibility of applying Polymer-based Dielectric Resonator Antenna (PRA), technology developed at the University of Saskatchewan, to commercial antenna array applications.

As part of a larger proposal, the proposed research project aims to develop biopolymer-integrated, environmentally-resilient thermoplastic glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials with the goal to protect Atlantic shoreline from soil erosion due to accelerated climate change events. The project, in partnership with New Brunswick Innovation Foundation (NBIF) and Thermopak Ltd., will modify the conventional […]

Les ruptures de feuilles de papier produites par Cascades sont une préoccupation majeure pour Casades car elles diminuent la fiabilité et l’efficacité du processus de production de la pâte à papier, entraînent des coûts substantiels et posent un risque important pour la sécurité des opérateurs de l’usine [3]. Par conséquent, ce projet aborde le problème […]

Anthropogenic greenhouse gases and aerosols resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels to power our current energy systems are the leading cause of climate change and pose human health risks, especially in urban areas. Hydrogen proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) electric vehicles offer the opportunity to displace the internal combustion engine from medium- and […]

Nowadays, many building contractors use modular construction, where various parts of a building are partially or completely built on an assembly line and then put together on the delivery site. Building interior modules often involve building and finishing plasterboard walls, including closing joints between panels and hiding fasteners or defects. To do so, a gypsum-based […]

Acculogic develops state-of-the-art testers for short-batch electronic circuit boards (ECBs). The order in which the required tests are performed affects the amount of shuttle and probe movements required between the tests, and this affects the overall efficiency of the test procedure. Unique characteristics of the problem (e.g. the ability to move one set of probes […]

The focus of this project is focused on developing thermal transport coatings, which makes use of a new proprietary graphene-like material developed by 3M Canada. The need for improved thermal transport coating is important to numerous optoelectronic applications, photovoltaics and in particular the semiconductor industry as computing power continues to increase. The proposed research will […]

Many of the flavours found in whisky and other distilled spirits are derived from alcoholic fermentation, most commonly by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Given the biodiversity of different yeast strains and species, there is an opportunity to identify strains that can produce alcoholic beverages with unique flavours and aromas. The Measday lab has isolated hundreds […]

Approximately one-third of songbird species which migrate to the Canadian boreal forest to breed require older forests for nesting and foraging. In Alberta, older boreal forests are altered by ongoing industrial activity, such as logging; the birds that rely on these habitats are sensitive to this change. Forestry companies are constantly developing and testing new […]

The goal of the project is the development of copper for Rapidia’s innovative paste extrusion process. Copper is a highly sought-after material with unique properties that has a wide range of applications in various industries including biomedical, electrical, manufacturing, and energy storage. The ability to 3D print copper parts on our system will thus have […]
