WATERLOO, Ont. -- An international team of scientists, including a University of Waterloo chemistry professor, has conclusively demonstrated that water does exist on the sun, confirming a breakthrough finding made two years ago. The team used an innovative method to calculate the water spectrum at sunspot temperatures. The method will be useful in modelling systems with an abundance of extremely hot water molecules, such as forest fires. The team was led by Oleg Polyansky, a theoretician from Russia's Institute

Products & Services
Safety and Health Services
Safety and health services perform testing, consulting and analytical activities related to worker protection, industrial hygiene, process accidents, facility dangers, occupational hazards, and consumer product safety.
Solder
Solders include low melting point metal alloys usually in wire, powder, preform or paste forms. Solders are metal alloys with low melting points that are used to join metals together.
Braze and Brazing Alloys
Braze and brazing alloys join metals or other materials without extensive fusion of the substrates. Brazes have a higher melting point (>800° F) than solders and cause little or no metal vaporization, gain growth, stress corrosion, or distortion.
Surge Suppressors
Surge suppressors are used to protect equipment from transient over voltages in power, data, and telephone circuits.
Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders are actuation devices that utilize pressurized hydraulic fluid to produce linear motion and force.
