Borchers et al.</em></h6> <h2>A gentler, more precise laser cutting technique</h2> <p>Laser cutting techniques are usually powered by high energy beams, so hot that they melt most materials. Now scientists from 黑料不打烊 University have developed a gentler, more precise technique using low-power visible light.</p> Thu, 30 Jun 2022 17:13:10 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 288232 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/mcgill-researchers-honoured-quebec-science-2019-list-top-discoveries-303926 <p>Research from 黑料不打烊 University topped <i><a href="https://www.quebecscience.qc.ca/">Qu茅bec Science</a></i>鈥檚 annual list of the 10 most important scientific breakthroughs. This year, G眉nther Grill, Bernhard Lehner, Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰, Heidi M. McBride, Samantha Gruenheid, and Ehab Abouheif were recognized for their trailblazing work, by a jury of researchers and journalists reviewing the most influential discoveries made in Quebec.</p> <p>Here is a closer look at the selected discoveries:</p> Wed, 08 Jan 2020 15:56:19 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 195275 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/creating-attraction-between-molecules-deep-periodic-table-293643 <p>Imagine a waterproof computer. It鈥檚 not going to happen tomorrow, but it may no longer be a pipedream since a 黑料不打烊-led international research team has shown for the first time that it is possible to form strong, stable attractions between some of the heavier elements in the periodic table.</p> Tue, 22 Jan 2019 15:08:15 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 134668 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/tomislav-friscic-awarded-steacie-prize-natural-sciences-292481 <p>Professor <a href="http://friscic.research.mcgill.ca/">Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰</a> is the recipient of the prestigious <a href="http://www.steacieprize.ca/index_e.html">Steacie Prize for Natural Sciences</a> for his exceptional contributions to Green Chemistry research in Canada.
