Chemists Are First in Line for Quantum Computing’s Benefits

Efforts to invent more practical superconductors and better batteries could be the first areas of business to get a quantum speed boost.

From mobile labs to Ebola vaccines: How the National Microbiology Laboratory did it all

From mobile labs to Ebola vaccines: How the National Microbiology Laboratory did it all

In 2001 suspicious mail showed up in New Brunswick. People feared that it may have been laced with anthrax like the letters being sent to congressional offices in the USA at the time. No one wanted to move the mail all the way to the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, so scientists had to rush out with all their equipment on hand. NML took inspiration from this and considered a solution that had equipment on-the-go. Analyzing a sample takes long enough as it is, and having to move the

How X-Rays can increase the likelihood of down syndrome in babies

How X-Rays can increase the likelihood of down syndrome in babies

Pregnant women should only undergo x-rays when it’s absolutely necessary. Seems like common sense, doesn’t it? But this wasn’t always the case. In fact, this seemingly simple fact wasn’t considered until the work of a Japanese-Canadian scientist: the late Dr. Irene Uchida. Uchida was the first to link radiation exposure in women to birth abnormalities with their babies in the 1950’s. This was especially the case in pregnant women given that the radiation was directly affecting the unborn child

Cellular reception: finding a cure for cancer through genetic immunology

Cellular reception: finding a cure for cancer through genetic immunology

Despite modern medicine and continuous research, diseases like HIV/AIDS and cancer are still taking victims. But significant progress has been made right here in Canada to one day find a method of stopping the diseases from growing in our bodies to begin with. An invaluable contributor to this goal is Tak Wah Mak, a Chinese-Canadian scientist who discovered the T-cell receptor, pioneered the study of genetics in relation to immunology and continues to make great strides in biochemistry to this

Exploring the subatomic computing frontier with the 12-Qubit System

Quantum computing is a term getting thrown around a lot these days, tossing out classical bits for cool new qubits. But as hot of a topic quantum computing may be right now, Dr. Raymond Laflamme, a professor at the University of Waterloo, helped create a 12-qubit computer system way back in 2006. Qubits are as cute as they sound. They’re photons, protons, electrons, atoms and even nano-sized electrical circuits; whatever behaves according to quantum mechanics and can be tamed. Computer

What was eating away at cement in western Canada?

There were a lot of strange things afoot throughout Western Canada in the 1920’s, besides the occasional sasquatch sighting. In the world of chemistry, cement was mysteriously getting weaker and weaker. This may seem trivial, but things were getting pretty bad. Sewers were falling apart, irrigation aqueducts were cracking rapidly and even some public buildings were getting brittle. The National Research Council came to the rescue as they usually do, and organized a team to get to the bottom of

Synthesizing Insulin in Canada

Synthesizing Insulin in Canada

Synthesized insulin is a hormone used by 300 million people around the world to treat diseases like diabetes. But few people know that it was first recreated in our nation’s capital by the late Indo-Canadian scientist, Dr. Saran Narang. To do this, Narang and his team at the National Research Council used a process called recombinant DNA. DNA is a complex molecule that serves as instructions for cells to create proteins in an organism. Since all life is composed of proteins, DNA acts as

Enlightening Canada with carbide

We take our energy-efficient bright lights for granted nowadays with people rarely questioning how they work. In the late 19th century, however, this was a serious concern given how dim and expensive lighting was at the time. That was until Thomas “Carbide” Willson found an economically-viable way to light up Canada through the use of calcium carbide (CaC2) and acetylene gas (C2H2). An enthusiast of electricity and inventor since his teens, Willson moved from his home in Princeton, Ontario to

The SHAD Network

The SHAD story begins with a unique and award-winning summer program and flourishes into a lasting network of change makers. First developed in 1980 at St. Andrew’s College in Aurora it is more important than ever given the skills youth need to excel in the modern economy. Hosted at 13 university campuses across the nation, SHAD produces leaders for Canada through a life-changing, pan-Canadian enrichment platform for high school students. Every year, SHAD helps 800 young Canadians tap into their
