All in Canadian Light Source
Revolutionary catalyst discovered
Researchers have developed a new catalyst material that outperforms benchmarks and opens the door to significant advances in petroleum refinement and industrial applications.
A brighter future after stroke
It is impossible to treat stroke immediately, even if you have a stroke in-hospital. That means that the best way to protect stroke victims is to understand the mechanisms behind damage after a stroke, and basic research is vital to developing therapies to reduce brain injury and improving stroke victims’ quality of life. That's what Mark Hackett does.
Superconductivity breakthroughs
Uncovering the patterns that exist along with and compete with superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors.
Recreating Microfossils at the CLS
Did you know that microbes leave behind fossil traces? Researchers from the University of Tubingen mimic that action.
Bringing high tech down to earth
What does the leftover phosphorus in the soil looks like? Is it inorganic, bonded to other metals in forms plants can use, or is it mostly organic, which microbes must break down to plant-available forms? And what sources of phosphorus do plants actually rely on?
Nanoreactors mimicing plant cells
Mimicking plant cells to build teeny-tiny reactors.
Beamteam dream team: Alex Moewes and the next generation of materials scientists
The University of Saskatchewan Beamteam is devoted to uncovering the properties of new and advanced materials. In 2013, five graduate students from the group completed their PhDs and moved on to become professors, develop synchrotron beamlines, and expand the world’s knowledge of advanced materials.
Blocking African sleeping sickness' tiny culprit
A tsetse fly bites a girl. She becomes itchy, feverish, and her joints ache. Weeks later, she loses coordination and some sensation in her limbs. It becomes difficult to think, to sleep.
Next-generation Computing Materials
As computer chips continue to get smaller and more powerful, the field of electronics is approaching some severe limits.
