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.
Engineers develop self-healing muscle for robots
Students recently unveiled their invention of a robotic actuator -- the 'muscle' that converts energy into a robot's physical movement -- that has the ability to detect punctures or pressure, heal the injury and repair its damage-detecting 'skin.'
Listening to electrons talk
Researchers present new experimental and theoretical results for the bound electron g-factor in lithium-like tin which has a much higher nuclear charge than any previous measurement. The experimental accuracy reached a level of 0.5 parts per billion. Using an enhanced interelectronic QED method, the theoretical prediction for the g-factor reached a precision of 6 parts […]
Waste to foundation: Transforming construction waste into high-performance material
In a major advancement for sustainable construction, scientists have created a cement-free soil solidifier from industrial waste. By combining Siding Cut Powder and activated by Earth Silica, an alkaline stimulant from recycled glass, scientists produced a high-performance material that meets compressive strength standards exceeding the 160 kN/m construction-grade threshold and eliminates arsenic leaching through calcium […]

Citation & Referencing Research & Writing

Citation or paraphrasing?

by Florius 02 Nov

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.
