Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) organised open campus day to celebrate National Science Day observed on February 28 ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

“This project started with a simple question: why do basketball shoes squeak?” Adel Djellouli, a study co-author and ...

More than 1,000 high school students and teachers from across B.C. will participate in the 48th annual UBC Physics Olympics this weekend.

Basketball shoes on a gym floor, bicycle brakes in need of a tune-up, or the squeal of tires are everyday examples of squeaking sounds. Such sounds have long been attributed to stick-slip friction, or ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

The squeaking of sneakers on a gym floor is usually attributed to friction, specifically a stick-slip variety that involves cycles of sticking and sliding between two surfaces. But that model is best ...
