Waterloo researcher leading the charge for next-generation battery

University of Waterloo

A research team at the University of Waterloo has developed silicon technology for a cheaper, more powerful battery for everything from smartphones to electric cars. The race to build a better battery has drawn in some of the world’s biggest innovators — notably billionaire CEO Elon Musk, who is one of the players in the global drive to invent a low-cost, powerful battery to fuel the next-generation of electric cars. Now, a Waterloo team, that already has several patents for its silicon battery

The hunter’s secret weapon. The hunter’s most formidable weapon is deception. The Cree and Ojibway peoples of Canada’s Great Lakes relied on it for thousands of years.

The best way to call a moose. Why change something that’s worked perfectly for thousands of years? Today’s moose hunters have no reason to adapt the megaphones used by their Ojibway and Attiamek predecessors. Made out of birchbark, bound with spruce roots, and secured with leather straps, these devices amplify and direct the sound of the moose call, attracting the creatures to the hunters. While today’s versions may be made out of different materials - plastic and whatnot - the enduring

Dr. Mohamed Gamal El-Din's Research Finds New Treatments for Tailings Ponds

ASTech Foundation

The oil sands are a significant driver of Canada’s economy. As such, researchers are continuously striving to improve the industry, particularly in the area of environmental sustainability. Over the last 20 years, one of the main culprits impacting the environmental sustainability is oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). OSPW is the water produced from the extraction process, and is stored in tailings ponds for its recycle in bitumen extraction, process cooling, and material hydro-transport

Dr. Graham Pearson uses Diamonds as a Scientific Window into the Earth

ASTech Foundation

The University of Alberta has one of the world’s top diamond research groups, and at the heart of it is 2016 ASTech Awards Finalist for Leadership in Science Dr. Graham Pearson. His work with diamonds has been responsible for several revolutionary innovations within the industry, and has led to Pearson becoming known as the world’s leading scientist in diamond studies. Diamonds are far more useful than jewelry fans would believe. As Pearson explains, “we use diamonds as scientific windows into

AlbertaSat is Making Space History in Alberta

ASTech Foundation

It’s not often that a group etches their name into our country’s history books, but 2016 ASTech Award Winner for Group Innovation Under 30 AlbertaSat is on their way to doing exactly that thanks to their mission into space.
