Researchers at the University of Ottawa have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light differently depending on the handedness of the wavefront of light. This was surprising because, for years, such materials were found to be indifferent to any optical probe...

Armed with sterile tubes, students at the uOttawa Faculty of Medicine recently fanned out across Canada's capital city collecting soil samples. They were on the hunt for “bacteriophages,” viruses one-fortieth the size of a typical bacterium that bear a striking resemblance to landing alien spacecraft from a 1950s science fiction movie.
