Scientists from the University of Ottawa have invented a unique method to create better molecule-based magnets, known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs). This synthetic tour de force has resulted in a two-coordinate lanthanide complex which has magnet-like properties that are intrinsic to the molecule itself. This discovery opens the door to high-density hard disks, quantum computing applications, ...

Scientists from the University of Ottawa and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light are proposing a breakthrough approach that will facilitate discoveries in materials science by combining terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and real-time monitoring.

Catalysts play an integral role in the modern manufacturing industry. They are used in numerous processes, such as plastic production, ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining and hydrogenation. It is therefore no surprise that catalyst development is a major area of focus for many chemists.

It’s that time of year, when nearly 9,000 graduating students walk across the stage to receive their diploma. At this time, we realize the breadth of experiences and the hard work and determination that go into being a uOttawa student.

The quantum apocalypse is coming. Although this sounds like a bad nightmare, once quantum computers exist, our current communication channels will inevitably become obsolete and completely insecure. In other words, encrypted data will be easily hackable.

The future looks bright. It has been a long, arduous road for the Class of 2023, yet they learned to adapt, develop a good dose of resilience, and didn’t let a global pandemic stop them from achieving their goals. These thinkers, makers, dreamers, and doers - all 8,677 of them - will celebrate their hard-earned accomplishment over the next few days, as the University of Ottawa hosts its Spring Con...

Why does my dog chase squirrels? Is my cat scared of the vacuum cleaner? You’ve likely looked at your pet and wondered what it was thinking. Scientists study animal behaviour and cognition in efforts to understand how animals process information and make decisions.

Have you ever been to a lake where you were warned not to swim? Was the water green and slimy, and did it have an unpleasant smell? If so, the water was likely contaminated by Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).
