One of the University of Waterloo’s top scientists uses neutron beams to help develop the energy storage technology needed to power electric vehicles—and to reduce the need for fossil fuels to back up wind turbines.

Stress data from the CNBC led to a further project to develop manufacturing methods to optimise performance of lightweight alloys for car engines.

Years of research on technologies to optimize the production of lightweight car engines and other auto parts may soon pay off with big dividends for our automotive partners.
