  • Under the volcano

    Over three decades of studying volcanic eruptions all over the world and the legacy of extinct volcanoes in Northern Canada, Keiko Hattori has had her share of close calls.

  • Aiming for a quantum leap

    Ksenia Dolgaleva and Jeff Lundeen take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the power of single particles of light.

  • Shared dreams and laser beams

    The Advanced Research Complex takes research collaboration to a new level, says Paul Corkum, and will help establish Ottawa as a world leader in photonics.

  • Lighting the way

    Photonics researchers Thomas Brabec and Lora Ramunno are pushing the boundaries of light-matter interaction.

  • No Small Feat

    A powerful “atom buster” will revolutionize the way Jack Cornett and fellow geologists research a host of environmental and health problems.

  • Using the science of light to save lives

    Hanan Anis applies photonics to medicine to design new tools for doctors and medical researchers.

  • Metal sponges and iron-eating bacteria

    Danielle Fortin is testing the potential for combining naturally occurring bacteria and metals to decontaminate mining waste.

  • Testing the mettle of photonics

    Pierre Berini studies what happens when light travels along a metal surface. It could one day change the way we transmit computer data and detect diseases.
