Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity, and pave our path towards a netzero carbon future. Most fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes, which are heated and compressed into a plasma state. This process is very difficult – if the plasma degrades or behaves poorly, fusion won’t be able to occur. One […]

Surfactants are versatile ingredients found in major chemical industries, health care, home care, personal care, pharmaceuticals, medicines, to name just a few. The majority of these commercial sectors, however, utilize chemical surfactants. These fossil-derived surfactants not only consume our planet’s finite oil reserves but also contribute negatively to the health of marine environments in turn […]

Fourien Inc. is developing a diagnostic medical instrument for rapid and low-cost detection of COVID-19 virus using saliva samples from early-stage infections. The custom-built vibrometer instrument will use micro-sensors to detect the RNA of the virus. There is a need to develop optimized and sensitive modules of optics, electronics and mechanics that are critical for […]

Quantum computers encode information with qubits. Unfortunately, qubits are subject to error. Those are physical qubits, and one will need many physical qubits to create an error-free qubit, also called a logical qubit. In this project, the university and industry researchers will work together to understand if the error rate of a logical quantum circuit […]

This project will help provide solutions to our client’s problems and the Accounts Payable Intern will be learning about centralizing accounts payable processing and reporting across the enterprise. In addition, this project will support the organization to move towards a paperless processing environment. The intern will get exposure to our accounting systems and will provide […]

Tamarack is deemed as an underutilized species. Recently York North Veneer Products Inc. (YNVP) received an inquiry on use of Tamarack veneer as sheathing materials in construction of light frame walls in Japanese market with an aim to replace Russian larch and Douglas-fir veneer. To meet this demand, YNVP working with UNB’s Wood Science and […]

This project will develop new applications and services for our clients and company and will help develop its software and visual representation, which will lead to providing better services and, of course, generate more sales. There is a need to create a viable sales system and redesign a few virtual showrooms. Having a competitive website, […]

This internship project will be exponential in expanding the brand name and the customer base. The interns will conduct market and comparative research and will develop further relationships by contacting prospective qualifying clients. In addition, the project involves conducting a market search to identify and compare various costs of machinery parts. The interns leading this […]

Protection from laser light has become increasingly important due to the proliferation of cheaper and more powerful laser systems, especially in regards to interference with aircraft operations. Laser attacks, otherwise known as laser illuminations can be serious safety risks for aircraft operations as it can cause temporary flash blindness or irreversible injuries to the eyes […]

The production of formate salts – one of the most preferable chemicals for de-icing via electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is currently a promising technology. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material for the manufacture of electrocatalysts because of not only its great abundance and availability but its conversion inducing graphite-based materials, which are excellent catalyst supports. The […]

Business transformation involves firms changing their business models to pursue new opportunities. The ambitions of transformation are to enhance a firm’s competitiveness. Transformation is risky—literature highlights that transformation efforts often fail; reasons include firms not having the sufficient competencies or enough capital to carry the changes through. As Canadian forest sector firms look to new […]

Research is committed to developing innovative solutions to meet the demands of the construction industry in a scientific base. New engineering processes are established, through investigations and research, to improve quality, design and product cost. Integrating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars into lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) would effectively contribute to producing lighter and more durable reinforced […]
