Success Stories
Proud to support the innovative work of researchers in Canada. View all success stories!
Low-cost sensors yield high-impact technology
Dr. Yiheng Qin’s development of a novel inkjet printing process offers industry a low-cost method for manufacturing highly accurate electrochemical sensors for water monitoring.
Commonplace material, extraordinary performance
An all-silicon modulator developed by Université Laval professors Leslie Rusch (left) and Wei Shi achieved the fastest-ever transmission on silicon photonics. Their low-cost, low-energy component, produced through standard foundry processes, solves a significant challenge in next-generation semiconductor design.
