The creation of a material that absorbs the majority, if not all light, would improve the effectiveness of health-related equipment. Michael Reimer, a faculty member at the Institute for Quantum Computing and researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, has set his sights on creating an artificially engineered material, known as a metamaterial, to do just that.

When Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Research Associate Matthew Day had his lab temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the experimentalist found himself at some loose ends. What’s an experimentalist to do without his equipment? For Day, it was a chance for him to ask questions he’d been thinking about for a while. Specifically, Day wanted to know: how does equipment in the lab affect experiments?
