Researcher Jan-Hendrik Pöhls and his colleagues are using quantum computations to speed the discovery of efficient thermoelectric materials that can convert unwanted heat into electricity.
A new company spawned by McMaster University innovation has received a grant to develop a new technology for keeping liquid mRNA vaccines safe and viable without the deep-freeze that is necessary today for storing and transporting such vaccines.
The research is part of an ongoing, broader effort to establish McMaster as a centre for the development of real-time sensors, pathogen-repellent materials and other products that improve food safety.
