When is the last time you thought about where your water ends up? The water that flows down the drain in the tub, that runs through the grates on the side of the road, that gets flushed down the toilet—all of it makes its way to treatment plants where it gets processed and cleaned before returning to our waterways. The plant treats incoming water for all types of waste and pollutants, but it’s micropollutants—those chemicals present in tiny amounts that can still cause widespread...

Episode 06 - How does the synchrotron advance innovation?
The University of Saskatchewan (USask) is home to Canada's only synchrotron. The Canadian Light Source at USask gives researchers at the university and around the world an opportunity to explore scientific questions down to the molecular and atomic level with the help of the synchrotron's beamlines. But what exactly does a synchrotron do, and how does it advance scientific curiosity and innovation? We shine a light on the power of the synchrotron in this episode of the USask Signa...
