Le projet a pour but ultime de développer un procédé de fabrication à grande échelle de rubans supraconducteurs avec une robustesse améliorée. Il est attendu que ces rubans supraconducteurs pourront être utilisés dans une multitude d’applications en énergie, médical et recherche fondamentale. Par exemple, ces rubans supraconducteurs seront utilisés pour construire des aimants supraconducteurs très […]

The objective of the present project is to develop the necessary tools for the optimization of the manufacturing of large size forged ingots made of high strength steels used in the transportation and energy industries. The project will analyze all the manufacturing steps including, ingot casting, open die forging and quench & temper steps. For […]

Plant microbiology has important applications in the process of industrial Cannabis sativa manufacture and distribution through its direct impact on both plant health and product quality. The research in this field has enormous potential to contribute to the quality and safety of the products, through the modulation and stabilization of plant metabolites, increase of disease […]

Membranes are becoming the dominant technology in treating drinking water and wastewater. Membranes can be made in various geometries, but hollow fibers are the preferred form factor; they can be packed more efficiently, reducing the plant size and they are often easier to clean than alternative geometries. Nevertheless, during use, membranes will become fouled, which […]

Laying hens need a reliable source of protein and energy for egg production and maintenance that does not induce fatty liver disease (FLD). As egg production moves in the direction of group housing scenarios, more management techniques, including nutritional management, that reduce losses due to feather pecking and cannibalism will also be required. Hemp has […]

The interns in this project will use their skills in researching parts and products that can be used to achieve the subprojects that we set out to create on the micro-mobility car. In some areas the students may use the machine shop and equipment found in the engineering building on York University campus to create […]

The recording of brain activity through neural Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) has a wide range of applications, such as studying brain patterns for seizure detection or brain stimulation to alleviate motor disorders. Some IMDs communicate with an external interface platform, which offloads the recorded data from, programs, and supplies power to the IMD. However, existing […]

Around 4 billion tonnes per year of crop and forest residues (biomass) are burned in open air, because they are often loose, wet, bulky, and too expensive to collect and centralize for subsequent conversion into useful products. This results in air pollution, and in some cases, exacerbated wildfires. In this project, we are applying machine […]

Newborn calves need to ingest maternal colostrum, which is rich in immunoglobulin G (IgG) content, to help them develop their naïve immune system. This requires calves to ingest high masses of IgG, generally above 100 g in the first hours of life. In addition to feeding high IgG masses to newborn calves, research suggests that […]

For the joining of different materials, various processes are available in the industry such as riveting, shrink fitting or welding. Welding is the preferred joining method especially for high temperature and high-pressure applications such as pressure vessels and aircraft structures. In recent times, the number of potential applications and usage of welding is also increasing […]

Canadian public and private researchers have taken an interest in a new class of light-emitting materials, subphthalocyanines, which can produce better colour in OLED smartphone and television screens. The materials can be optimized for specific purposes by using slightly different ingredients in their synthesis, or by reacting them with other ingredients after synthesis, but most […]

CAC recently announced a partnership with the Federal Government of Canada towards achieving Net Zero Concrete by 2050, enabling policy and investments. The industry has been vigorously provided low-carbon concrete solutions accepted in the relevant CSA standards. It is currently providing data for more technologies that offer deeper carbon cuts to reach the 2030 carbon […]
