    Our houses, our towns, our cities, our communities - we have surrounded ourselves with our "built environment."

    But as populations grow and move, the we have to ask ourselves: how do we make sure our built environment is healthy, safe and sustainable for us and for future generations?

    Feb 25 2025

    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.

    We shine a light on the power of the synchrotron in this episode of the USask Signature Series podcast.
