+EFFICIENT +INTEGRATED Professor El-Gamal successfully demonstrated a thin-film encapsulation technology for above-IC MEMS wafer-level packaging. The uniqueness of this technology lies in its use of SiC as its main structural layer, and the fabrication process is...
+PRECISE +PERFORMANCE The goal of this project is to develop a compact, high-flux femtosecond X-ray source covering the spectral keV range as well as new methods for the spatial and temporal characterization of the X-ray. Over the past three years, Professor Légaré’s...
+PROFITABLE +EFFECTIVE +RESISTANT Currently, solar cells are based on inorganic semiconductors and while their performance is attractive, they are expensive to produce and offer little versatility. Polymer cells, meanwhile, are: inexpensive to produce, lighter, less...
+EFFICIENT +PROFITABLE +ECOLOGICAL Solar energy is one of the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels. The challenge, however, lies in developing cells whose performance is sufficient to make this solution economically viable. One promising strategy – the Grätzel...
+EFFICIENT +ECOLOGICAL +PROFITABLE A polymer electrolyte fuel cell is a clean and efficient source of electrical power, which could, in the near future, be used in the automotive sector. However, the use of platinum and its alloys as catalysts in these new types of...
