This question was negatively answered decades ago by many authors including Gordon, Webb, Wolpert, who constructed non-isometric planar shapes that have the identical eigenvalues of the Laplace operator (Bull. AMS, v.27 (1992), p.134-138). The more general question: can we sense the shape of a rigid object such as a cloud of atomic centers representing a molecule?</p> Wed, 16 Oct 2024 14:12:04 +0000 admin 2913 at /qls Soup & Science event opens up research opportunities for undergraduate students /qls/channels/news/soup-science-event-opens-research-opportunities-undergraduate-students-360449 <p><span><span><span>Twenty-two speakers <span><span><span>from the faculties of Arts, Science and Engineering <span><span><span>presented their research in “lightning talks” <span><span><span>to <span><span><span>more than 480 undergraduate <span><span><span>students <span><span><span>at <span><span><span>Soup <span><span><span>&<span><span><span> Science, <span><span><span>a <span><span><span>biannual event.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> Tue, 15 Oct 2024 18:48:23 +0000 admin 2911 at /qls Au cœur de Griffintown: l'inclusion territoriale du projet MR-63 (lecture in French) /qls/channels/event/au-coeur-de-griffintown-linclusion-territoriale-du-projet-mr-63-lecture-french-360279 &;;&;;&;;/&;; Wed, 09 Oct 2024 14:50:43 +0000 admin 2904 at /qls Thomas C.
