Linda Nazar, one of two professors, to spearhead new battery research centre.
Long-held theories on how black holes like the one at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way, evolve were proven right this week thanks to research made possible by Canadian scientists.
Four University of Waterloo researchers, including Earth and Environmental Sciences professor David Blowes, were awarded funding earlier this month from the Ontario government for innovative research that ranges from cleaning up arsenic-laden mine waste, treating potential virus outbreaks, and using artificial intelligence to protect valuable financial data.
Thanks to support from the Government of Canada’s Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the University of Waterloo Canadian Free Electron Laser (FEL) project will receive $10 million in funding.
Six Faculty of Science researchers were awarded a combined total of over $4.5M in Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Alliance Grants for their cutting-edge research collaborations with partner organizations from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors.
Professor Dale Martin's research lab is a recipient of a $125,000 ALS Canada-Brain Canada 2023 Discovery Grant. This grant program, dedicated to advancing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research, encourages out-of-the-box ideas in the field.
Paul Sherk’s video titled, "Permeable reactive barriers: A strategy for acid mine drainage remediation," took a broadcast news approach to share his research and was the 2024 GRADflix showcase winner.
2023 marked the 20th year on orbit for the Canadian Space Agency’s Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite - Canada’s most successful scientific space mission.
Congratulations to Juewen Liu (Chemistry), Linda Nazar (Chemistry), and Will Percival (Physics & Astronomy and the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics) for representing Science and the university of this list. Liu and Percival are both marking their second appearance on the list, while Nazar has been on the list nine out of the last 10 years. Their work clearly resonates with the research community and their findings have inspired others to push boundaries and explore what’s next in their own research.
On Saturday, July 1st, 2023, the European Space Agency launched its Euclid satellite from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Twelve years in the making, the Euclid mission will construct a 3D map of the Universe by observing billions of galaxies, across more than a third of the sky.
