Hairy nanotechnology provides green anti-scaling solution

A new type of cellulose nanoparticle, invented by 平特五不中 researchers, is at the heart of a more effective and less environmentally damaging solution to one of the biggest challenges facing water-based industries: preventing the buildup of scale.

Using DNA technology to track marine life

平特五不中 marine ecologist Jennifer Sunday is bringing cutting-edge DNA analysis to the formidable task of tracking ocean species along Canada鈥檚 Pacific coast.

New cities may make millions more vulnerable to climate change

A forthcoming study of over a hundred new cities being built around the world suggests developers and planning authorities are doing very little to make their projects resilient to climate change. On the contrary, a boom in new city projects in coastal areas 鈥� including some on reclaimed land in the sea 鈥� appears to fly in the face of the danger of rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events.

Better plastic recycling with enzymes

平特五不中 chemistry professors Karine Auclair and Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰聽are following a promising lead on using聽enzymes to recycle polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the world鈥檚 most widely used plastics.

Greener alternative to lithium-ion batteries

The runaway popularity of personal electronic devices has led to a huge global demand for compact yet powerful rechargeable batteries. Since hitting the market in the 1990s, lithium-ion technology has taken the lead in meeting this need.

Potential huge energy savings through nanocatalysts for nitrogen fixation

A fundamental component of protein, nitrogen is the most common pure element on Earth, making up nearly 80 percent of our atmosphere. Yet despite its abundance, atmospheric nitrogen cannot enter the food chain without first being converted into a form that can be used by plants.

Green polymers inspired by biology

平特五不中 chemistry professor Matthew Harrington is aiming to develop a renewable alternative to petrochemical plastics by mimicking the astonishing chemistry of the velvet worm 鈥撀燼 creature that has made a name for itself through its projectile slime.

Artists Among Us

Gault Nature Reserve special edition Calling all scientist-artists:

Does the FOREST inspire you? In honour of the 60th anniversary of the Gault Nature Reserve in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, a special edition of the Artists Among Us art exhibition will take place during the months of July and August 2018 at the Alice Johannsen Pavilion of the Reserve.

New B.Sc. Global Designation

The Faculty of Science B.Sc. Global Designation recognizes Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) students who have gone beyond a typical B.Sc. experience and broadened their horizons by

participating in language classes, performing independent research, and including the "real-world" in their program: field studies, a science internship, exchange or independent study away, or global coursework.
