Spinning, twisted light could power next-generation electronics
Researchers have advanced a decades-old challenge in the field of organic semiconductors, opening new possibilities for the future of electronics. The researchers have created an organic semiconductor that forces electrons to move in a spiral pattern, which could improve the efficiency of OLED displays in television and smartphone screens, or power next-generation computing technologies such […]
Breakthrough nano-spring technology boosts battery durability and energy density
Scientists improved battery durability and energy density with a nano-spring coating.
Scientists discover smart way to generate energy with tiny beads
Researchers have discovered a new method to generate electricity using small plastic beads. By placing these beads close together and bringing them into contact, they generate more electricity than usual. This process, known as triboelectrification, is similar to the static electricity produced when rubbing a balloon against hair.
Building bridges in physics
Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs the behavior of electric currents and magnetic fields. This work can help make new concepts more understandable by employing more familiar frameworks.
'Nanodot' control could fine-tune light for sharper displays, quantum computing
Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from incredibly tiny sources, a few nanometers in size, embedded in two-dimensional materials could lead to remarkably high-resolution monitors and advances in ultra-fast quantum computing, according to an international team.
Super sapphire resists scratches, glare, fog and dust
Researchers have discovered techniques to bestow superpowers upon sapphire, a material that most of us think of as just a pretty jewel.

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.
