Semiconductors might not be the most visible to most of us, but they play a huge role in our daily lives and are increasingly in demand. However, since the COVID pandemic, sourcing these critical electronic components has been increasingly difficult. Faced with a global semiconductor shortage, Canada, the United States, and Mexico decided to collaborate, with governments, industry, and academia jo...

Scientists from the University of Ottawa and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light are proposing a breakthrough approach that will facilitate discoveries in materials science by combining terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and real-time monitoring.

Catalysts play an integral role in the modern manufacturing industry. They are used in numerous processes, such as plastic production, ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining and hydrogenation. It is therefore no surprise that catalyst development is a major area of focus for many chemists.

The quantum apocalypse is coming. Although this sounds like a bad nightmare, once quantum computers exist, our current communication channels will inevitably become obsolete and completely insecure. In other words, encrypted data will be easily hackable.

Why does my dog chase squirrels? Is my cat scared of the vacuum cleaner? You’ve likely looked at your pet and wondered what it was thinking. Scientists study animal behaviour and cognition in efforts to understand how animals process information and make decisions.

Have you ever been to a lake where you were warned not to swim? Was the water green and slimy, and did it have an unpleasant smell? If so, the water was likely contaminated by Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).
