Plants have always played an essential role in human health and survival. Their versatility makes them a prominent source of food, clothing and medicine. With over 390,000 species of plants on Earth, it should come as no surprise that some are studied more rigorously than others.

Nanofabrication refers to the process of producing materials and devices with sizes in the nanometer-scale range, where unique properties of materials become evident. These include nanodevices such as semiconductor-integrated circuits, high-density magnetic storage, and energy-harvesting devices.

Imagine running a bakery with a conventional rather than an industrial oven; it sounds daunting! Better equipment can improve the efficiency and quality of products, even in STEM. With this in mind, the National Research Council Canada (NRC) partnered with uOttawa to set up a new laboratory to improve research in the field of nanomaterials.

Tens of millions of years ago, the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided, giving rise to the Alps – a mountain belt stretching across much of southern Europe and reaching heights in excess of 4 km. Tectonic collision pushed rocks to >75 km depths, and a short time later the rocks returned to the surface. In the Austrian Alps, large-scale stretching of the plates led to the formation of ...

Scientists are not solo artists. They often collaborate with other academics, with industry and governments. Organizations such as the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) facilitate multi-sectoral, international collaborations.

The Maker Jam Challenge is an event combining student innovation and creativity. Nearly 100 students attended this year’s edition on the University of Ottawa campus. The participants, divided into 29 teams, took part in the Game Jam and MakerCon competitions. The atmosphere was intense as the participants displayed their inventiveness.
