This research should have a far-reaching impact: it allows scientists to forge valuable carbon-carbon bonds used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and beyond. A team of scientists from the University of Ottawa has developed an innovative technique to manufacture complex chemical structures from easily accessible substrates, making it one of the simplest and most practical metho...

Physicists and physical chemists from the University of Würzburg and the University of Ottawa have solved a decades-old problem of distinguishing single and multiple light excitations.

Ericsson Canada today announced with the University of Ottawa it has established a new Quantum research hub in Montreal as part of its cutting-edge global quantum research agenda.

New research led by a team of conservation biologists at the University of Ottawa shows that not only do non-native plants make up a substantial portion of native butterfly nectar diets, but that butterflies may even prefer them over native plants.

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences goes in this fifteenth edition to Anne L’Huillier (Lund University, Sweden), Paul Corkum (University of Ottawa and the National Research Council, Canada) and Ferenc Krausz (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Germany), the three pioneers of “attosecond physics” or “attophysics” whose work has made it possible to observe subatom...

Motivated by curiosity and the chance to test their theories in space, gifted science students from a local school joined with the University of Ottawa to answer an important question: Do EpiPens work in space? The answer turned into a ground-breaking discovery.

University of Ottawa SUNLAB study provides improved means for accurate measurements of bifacial solar panels – a key long-term renewable energy source – by taking ground cover into account

Researchers call for more comprehensive testing to monitor disease risk of emerging tick-borne pathogens

A novel genetic analysis performed by researchers at the University of Ottawa has shown melting glaciers increase the risk of viral spillover, suggesting the impact of climate change could lead viruses to infect new hosts in the Arctic.

Satellite-based monitoring provides new boost to conservation efforts for detecting, monitoring critically endangered Eubalaena glacialis
