Researchers say two more large calving events are likely

Scientists have demonstrated that sunlight, as a natural light source, can generate quantum-entangled photon pairs. With their findings, the international research team challenges the long-held assumption that lasers are indispensable for pre-paring quantum states of light. The study recently published in Optica opens a path toward new sustainable and energy-efficient photonic quantum technologies...

David Schuster’s doctoral research is making chemical safety testing more accurate, efficient and ethical. A rising star in the genetic toxicology community, he’s already influencing global standards that improve disease prevention.

Ottawa-led study addresses a longstanding evidence gap for one of cardiac surgery's fastest-growing techniques.

Master’s student Sina Negarandeh is working on an innovative model that uses artificial intelligence to speed up the process of analyzing X-rays showing internal damage to vehicles, such as cars and airplanes. This research helps avoid catastrophic vehicle failure and reduce wasted resources.

How can health data be shared to advance research while protecting patient privacy? For more than two decades, Dr. Khaled El Emam, University of Ottawa professor and CHEO Research Institute senior scientist, and his team at the Electronic Health Information Laboratory (EHIL) have been developing solutions that enable responsible use of health data for research, innovation and patient care.

Two decades ago, there was almost no scholarly research on the health of Francophones in minority communities. Today, it’s grown from a minor topic to a recognized field of research in its own right. And a great deal of its growth and development is the result of Professor Louise Bouchard’s work. Her significant contribution to the field has earned her the Award for Research Excellence in Fran...

Researchers in the Faculty of Medicine have secured new funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to advance impactful research that addresses complex health and societal challenges. These projects span disciplines and methodologies, generating new knowledge to inform policy, practice and health outcomes across Ca...

Girls are often told what they should do to stay safe: dress appropriately, avoid unsafe situations, say no clearly, make good choices and stay alert. But what happens when they do all of this and are still blamed when sexual violence occurs? That question is at the heart of research by Mythili Rajiva, professor in the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences. She...

Au Québec, les jeunes de 14 ans et plus ont la capacité juridique à prendre les décisions qui s’imposent concernant les soins requis par leur état de santé. Mais le refus de soins psychiatriques exprimé par une personne mineure est-il vraiment respecté? Cette question est au cœur du mémoire de maîtrise primé de Marianne Tétreault.
