La batterie lithium-ion pourrait occuper une place importante dans la transition énergétique à venir. Elle permettrait notamment d’équiper un nombre important de véhicule électrique. Cependant, son coût élevé et l’empreinte carbone importante liée à sa production diminue sa compétitivité. Afin d’améliorer ces deux aspects, la compagnie Nemaska Lithium propose une technologie novatrice pour produire de […]

La région de l’Outaouais possède un fort potentiel de développement dans le secteur de l’économie sociale. Les acteurs du développement en prennent de plus en plus conscience et plusieurs cas de partenariats entre des entreprises d’économie sociale (EÉS) et certaines municipalités de la région ont vu le jour afin de réaliser ce potentiel. Notre recherche […]

Source code is what programmers write as instructions to the computer to execute to complete a desired task. All operating systems and applications on a computer or a mobile device is a runnable version of a compiled source code. Experienced programmers can easily browse and understand source code in different programming languages because they have […]

A hockey helmet should be capable of protecting the user over the helmet’s intended life span. There is currently little evidence quantifying the changes in the impact attenuation performance of field-used hockey helmets over time. This study will collect a large sample of field-used hockey helmets from the hockey community for impact testing. The sample […]

Wastewater can be damaging to the environment if left untreated. Microorganisms play important roles in removing harmful pollutants, such as organics and nutrients, within wastewater treatment plants. For instance, certain wastewater bioreactor designs promote the growth of specialized microbes that sequester phosphorus into their cells, which prevents harmful algal blooms in natural waters and enables […]

This project will make a major contribution to improve channel rehabilitation projects, which are reconstructing streams to imitate the natural form of the stream. These projects are very costly and their failure can cause high financial losses. The results of this project will lead to a decrease or elimination of the financial losses by improving […]

Adult onset diabetes, or type 2 diabetes, is becoming more common in Canada and across the world. And it is a risk factor for stroke.
