Two science-led companies will take the stage this week and pitch at Velocity’s $5K Winter 2023 semi-finals for their chance to advance to the finals later this month.
Water has many unique properties. An interdisciplinary team of Waterloo scientists has discovered a one-dimensional chain of water molecules could produce a quantum phase transition. This breakthrough is a key development for future water-based quantum devices.
Dr. Scott Taylor has been awarded the Bernard Belleau Award from the Chemical Insitute of Canada for his contributions to medicinal chemistry.
February 11th marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, the annual event promotes full and equal access and participation of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Let's celebrate some of the outstanding women in Waterloo Science.
Tomorrow, the Faculty of Science will be presenting its annual Science Alumni Achievement Awards to recognize several exceptional alumni during a special ceremony that celebrates recipients from 2019-2022.
Dr. Bob Lemieux, our Dean of Science, has written a three-part series to demonstrate why conducting basic research is critical to our ongoing quest to innovate. The first article was published today on LinkedIn.
We wish to acknowledge the outstanding efforts and achievements of the following Graduate TA Award winners. Through these challenging times the very positive attitude and teaching skills of these individuals has had considerable impact on enhancing the reputation of our undergraduate programs.
Dr. Janusz Pawliszyn received the Chemical Institute of Canada Medal for his outstanding contribution to the science of chemistry in Canada. Sponsored by the Chemical Institute of Chemistry, the CIC Medal is their top award.
Dr. Pavle Radovanovic won the 2023 Award for Research Excellence in Materials Chemistry from the national Canadian Society for Chemistry. The award acknowledges his outstanding contribution to materials chemistry.
At the forefront of condensed matter physics, materials with novel quantum mechanical properties are being investigated for fundamental science and potential applications in quantum technology. Quantum chemist Dr. Adam Wei Tsen and his team are diving into this field with a particular focus on two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials.
