Research with neutron beams has the potential to transform how energy absorbing materials are designed, validated, and deployed for both military armour and civilian infrastructure.

Producing more food with fewer resources—including less water, less land, and fewer synthetic chemicals—and securing food supplies in a changing environmental and political climate are global concerns.

By studying soft and biological materials with sophisticated tools like neutron beams, graduate students in biophysics are able to develop advanced analytical skills that can be transferred to a wide range of professional careers in all areas of Canada’s economy.
