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.

Algae and plants aren’t called “primary producers” for nothing. They’re the base of all food webs, and the sugars and oxygen they produce through photosynthesis are what allow every other organism on this planet to thrive, including us. So, if they go down, we go down with them.

Climate change is with us, and floods are becoming more frequent and devastating. Professor Ousmane Seidou, a researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, explains what the situation will look like for Canada and for the rest of the world in the next five to 10 years.
