  A New Landing Gear Technology Developed in Canada
By bringing together Canadian aerospace manufacturers and suppliers at a workshop, NRC is helping the aerospace industry make the necessary transition from using chrome plating for its landing gears, replacing it with a clean alternative technology, a new composite coating.
 NRC Scientists Pinpoint Particulates
Internal combustion engines produce waste gases such as carbon dioxide and particulate matter which contribute to urban smog and cause many health problems. NRC researchers have created a technology that's helping enforce some of the world's toughest vehicle emissions standards for particulates. It is even being used to help assess the impact of particulates on climate change.
Sustainable Development: From Cleaning Up Messes to Preventing Them
There are almost infinite ways that industrial processes can use waste materials, decrease pollution and generate energy instead of burning it. By leveraging its expertise, modern biotechnology techniques and infrastructure, NRC is rising to the challenge.
Olive Oil of the Prairies
NRC scientists think they have a plant with the genes to make what they like to imagine as the healthy cooking oil of the future — a Canadian-grown vegetable oil, with no saturated fat, as high in monounsaturated fats as olive oil, and with the polyunsaturated fatty acids for which fish is prized. What is that plant you ask?
Turning Waste Into Value-added Cement-Based Products
NRC scientists are currently finding ways to turn "fly ash" from incinerated municipal solid waste into value-added cement-based products.
