Researchers from universities access the CNBC to obtain fundamental insights into materials used for clean energy technologies.

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is a leader in sciences that are foundational to reactor safety—including the ability to predict the lifetimes of critical components used in nuclear power stations around the world, especially those in CANDU reactors.

McGill University researchers are developing a method for predicting the magnetic properties of new materials even before they are made. This method could help scientists design new low cost magnets for more efficient wind turbines and electric vehicles.

Neutron beams provide insights into the nanoscale workings of supercapacitors, an enabling technology for clean energy innovations such as wind turbines, solar cells, light-rail trains, and electric vehicles.
