A leap forward for affordable solar power University of Toronto researchers used the CLS to gain insight into solar cell material in hopes to make solar power more efficient and affordable. Video: Perovskite Solar Cells A University of Toronto team used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to get a glimpse of the never-before-seen transformation of a 3D crystal into a high efficiency solar cell material. Their insights could lead to solar cells that are cheaper and more efficient. “There were lots of high fives when we actually looked at the computer screen and could see...

Reducing potholes in cold climates Could recycled materials help to build durable roads in areas with significant temperature swings like Saskatchewan? On The Beamlines: This series profiles scientists using the CLS and their ongoing research that has not yet been peer-reviewed or published.

X-rays allow us to quickly develop high-strength steels Synchrotron analyses could be used to fast-track the development of novel high-strength steel designs. Dr. Harishchandra Singh, an adjunct professor at NANOMO and the Centre for Advanced Steels Research at the University of Oulu in Finland. He is standing next to steel components in the spectroscopy lab at NANOMO.   Accurately predicting the strength of a steel prototype based on its microstructure and composition would be indispensable when designing new types of steel, but it has been nearly impossible to achieve — until now. “Designing/making the best-strength steel is the hardest task,”...
