Grants and Contributions

Rise Women's Legal Centre will work with victims of violence who have lived experiences with the justice system, advocates and anti-violence workers, to create a guide that will more fully meet the needs of victims of violence who need to access a peace bond.

This project aims to replace AMD's current Klockner Oxygen Blown Maxhutte (KOBM) steelmaking furnace, blast furnaces (used to produce molten iron from iron ore pellets), and two coke plants, resulting in significant emissions reductions.

This project, a comprehensive research program, aims to develop specific knowledge concerning the hydraulic performance, durability and resilience of several eco-friendly habitats and structure combinations under challenging Canadian climactic conditions. This research program will involve an extensive experimental and numerical modeling program and is directly aligned with the Coastal Resilience technology theme of NRC's Ocean program which aims to develop new knowledge, tools and solutions to improve flood and erosion risk reduction capabilities and increase the climate resilience of waterfront communities, industries and governments across Canada. The research will address key knowledge gaps and barriers, advance the understanding and thereby promoting and enabling more frequent integration of eco-friendly habitats in the design of implementation of natural and nature-based features and eco-friendly habitats in Canadian coastal environments and infrastructure, including their ability to reduce flood and erosion risk, which is a key element of the Coastal Resilience theme.

The Project will support the development of polarisation resolved single photon sensors over a broad range of photon energies (THz - telecom - visible) using photoexcitation of trions in gate defined quantum circuits in 2D quantum materials. Unique advantages of 2D quantum materials include bandgap tunability, photon polarisation to valley optical transitions, high quantum coherence and trion binding energy exceeding room temperature. The Project will support the development of quantum sensors in that quantum transport of a single electron from source to drain through a quantum dot (QD) proceeds at a specific value of back-gate voltage. When a single photon is absorbed in a QD, an exciton is created. An electron coherently interacts with the exciton forming a trion, changing the required back-gate voltage and quenching transport. Hence, the presence of a single exciton absorbed by a single photon can be electrically detected at a single electron level. The team will also explore methods to enhance the photon-electron interaction such as coupling to an optical cavity. The Project will advance the state-of-the art technologies for single photon sensing by the development of 2D materials-based quantum sensors.
