Reforms needed to ensure the protection of all pollinator species, our food systems and biodiversity as a whole

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam casting a visible shadow.

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...

Summary • uOttawa research team has found a link between taste and breathing in fish • This discovery may help us better understand how fish perceive and respond to changes in their environment • May also help in the protection of aquatic life

The University of Ottawa’s Department of Biology made a significant contribution to the comprehensive 2024 Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP). Professor Vance L. Trudeau’s work is featured in chapter 12, “Amphibian assisted reproductive technologies and biobanking.”

uOttawa team explores carbon in 3.9-billion-year-old Canadian rocks

New evidence suggests earlier presence of Thule-Inuit settlements in Nunavut than previously thought.

University of Ottawa scientists, along with colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin, have received a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

This discovery and the use of next-generation molecular techniques and tools open new areas of research in insect migration in the context of climate change.

Researchers develop method to confine light inside an organic material to form a hybrid quantum state, creating new physical and chemical properties.
