Faster Than Any Other Speeding Bullet

A hypervelocity launcher is being used to help researchers understand the devastating effects that space debris can have on orbiting satellites and installations like the International Space Station.

A “speeding bullet” developed at McGill Engineering imitates the velocity of space debris more effectively than anything attempted so far.

Nanotechnology: Getting the Goods on Graphene

Nanoengineering research into graphene promises to open doors to new technologies that will prove as exciting as the development of lasers when they first appeared.

McGill Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Thomas Szkopek is exploring graphene’s vast potential.
