Scientists just recreated a 1938 experiment that could rewrite fusion history
A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 experiment that may have quietly sparked the age of fusion energy. Arthur Ruhlig, a little-known physicist, first observed signs of deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion nearly a decade before its significance became clear in nuclear science. The modern team not only […]
This breakthrough turns old tech into pure gold — No mercury, no cyanide, just light and salt
At Flinders University, scientists have cracked a cleaner and greener way to extract gold—not just from ore, but also from our mounting piles of e-waste. By using a compound normally found in pool disinfectants and a novel polymer that can be reused, the method avoids toxic chemicals like mercury and cyanide. It even works on […]
Self-lighting chip uses quantum tunneling to spot a trillionth of a gram
Imagine detecting a single trillionth of a gram of a molecule—like an amino acid—using just electricity and a chip smaller than your fingernail. That’s the power of a new quantum-enabled biosensor developed at EPFL. Ditching bulky lasers, it taps into the strange world of quantum tunneling, where electrons sneak through barriers and release light in […]
Scientists freeze quantum motion using ultrafast laser trick
Harvard and PSI scientists have managed to freeze normally fleeting quantum states in time, creating a pathway to control them using pure electronic tricks and laser precision.
Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics
Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a way to change the game.
Ultra-thin lenses that make infrared light visible
Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light.

Citation & Referencing Research & Writing

Citation or paraphrasing?

When doing research, it is important to understand the difference between citation and paraphrasing. While it may be tempting to simply copy and paste text from sources, this is not only considered plagiarism, but it also undermines the credibility of your own work. Instead, it is generally recommended to paraphrase the information you have gathered from your sources, in order to demonstrate that you have understood and internalized the material, and are able to communicate it in your own words.

However, there may be certain cases when it is more appropriate to use a literal citation. For example, if you are making a specific argument that relies on the precise wording of a source, it may be necessary to use the exact text in order to make your point. Additionally, if the original text is written in a unique or poetic way, paraphrasing may actually detract from the impact of the passage.
