Hydrogen Compression Milestone Promises Major Benefits for Fuel Cell Industry Recently, NRC researchers achieved a key milestone in fuel cell research. Using a prototype electrochemical hydrogen compressor, researchers compressed hydrogen to a record 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Read about this high point that promises major benefits for the fuel cell industry.   Learn the ABCs of Chemistry with NRC's Periodic Table of Elements NRC has launched a new Periodic Table Web site. Students and teachers can use this site to learn about the Periodic Table of Elements, chemistry and research at NRC. Find out about the ABCs of chemistry beginning with Arsenic, Boron and Carbon.   Technology Clusters Language Technologies Research Centre NRC is a major partner in the establishment of a new Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC) in Gatineau, Quebec. The Centre, a community initiative, will help develop new technologies in support of Canadian language industries. Find out more about NRC's contribution to this community-based initiative.   Global Reach: Canada-France Collaboration Focuses On Next-Generation Organic and Photonic Devices NRC scientists in collaboration with researchers from France are working towards the creation of a post-silicon world for electronics and data transmission networks.
