Tsunamis give little or no warning to their victims to escape the deadly waves. Tsunami detection and warning systems that can save lives by giving people a chance to get out of disaster's path. LewHill Testing Technologies, an incubator company located at the NRC in St. John's, Newfoundland, has developed a better system for detecting tsunamis – one that could reduce the scale of future tragedies by saving thousands of lives.
New instrumentation installed and tested at NRC will enable researchers to gather the most detailed data yet on turbulence behind commercial aircraft. This information is expected to result in a better understanding of aircraft turbulence and could improve flight safety.
Have you ever had a dental cavity? Have you ever wished you didn't have to undergo the ordeal of drilling and filling? An NRC research team was recently awarded a grant to tackle the problem of early assessment of dental decay.
