APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN: Science Meets Parliament 2026
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN: Science Meets Parliament 2026
The Canadian Science Policy Centre (CSPC) and the Office of the Chief Science Advisor (OCSA) are pleased to offer our Science Meets Parliament programs. During these events, over 100 emerging leaders of the scientific community from across Canada were brought to the Canadian Parliament for extensive meetings with Parliamentarians, and attendance at the House

DFT simulation of electron capture reveals the role of helicity on PFAS breakdown dynamics
DFT simulation of electron capture reveals the role of helicity on PFAS breakdown dynamics
Defluorination of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) via the direct capture of excess electrons poses a promising path to environmental decontamination. Herein we show that quantum-chemical model optimization methods can be adapted to simulate the changes to molecular geometry that result from electron

Biomineralization processes rely on well-defined low-dimensional nanostructures to control the properties of the organic, inorganic and metallic crystals that form within them. Polymeric and hybrid nanostructures may be applied to mimic the environmental conditions and gain a powerful set of levers to control the synthesis and movement of crystalline nanomaterials. Self-assembled structures of polystyrene-alt-maleic acid and single atomic layer gold nanosheets are used to direct the growth and movement of 2–3 nm gold nanoclusters. The system is found to be stable through freeze-drying and rehydration and to support the directed release of nanoclusters to form higher order structures when differential dehydration of the system motivates water flow through the polymer nanotubes. The combination of stability or dynamism depending on bulk conditions marks this as a promising system for nanoscale additive manufacturing. Graphical abstract

Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Systems in Overcoming Resistance to Targeted Therapy | Springer Nature Link
The first nanomedicine was approved for clinical use over 20 years ago. In the intervening time, our ability to engineer materials at the nanoscale has advanced immensely, yet a revolution in targeted drug delivery remains elusive. Nowhere is this more keenly...
