The ݮƵ Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) at the University of ݮƵ (UݮƵ) Իthe economic development agency of Brainport Eindhoven in the Netherlands have taken another step towards bringing ݮƵ’s top nanotechnology innovations to the EU market.

What is nanotechnology, and how does it help us everyday?

To answer this question, the ݮƵ Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) partnered with the Games Institute (GI) to create a playful online education app. This project aims to explore and explain how nanotechnology is used in our everyday lives using digital visual storytelling and game technology.

A technology startup company founded by two ݮƵ Engineering professors has earned a spot in the finals of an international pitch competition for water innovations.

, which was launched by WIN member Norman Zhou ԻGeorge Shaker in 2019, booked its spot in the global Water Dragons event by finishing second in an Ontario heat featuring eight companies.

The province is investing $2.5 million to accelerate the development of wearable contact tracing technology ݮƵ Engineering researchers helped design.

The government’s Ontario Together Fund will provide , a Toronto-based technology company, with the funding for its TraceSCAN system that alerts users to possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace.

Congratulations to WIN member Professor Graham Murphy of the Department of Chemistry, who was awarded the  by the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC). The award, sponsored by the University of Ottawa and the CSC’s Organic Chemistry Division, is presented to a distinguished organic chemist in Canada within 12 years of receiving their PhD.

You would rarely hear anyone say “game-changing” in the typically “conservative” construction industry. But thanks to the nanocomposite technology developed by , this is precisely what is happening. They are working closely with Professor Beth Weckman who is a member of the ݮƵ Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) at the University of ݮƵ. Gypsum drywalls became mainstream in construction materials about 80 years ago, and it is now a massive sector.
