Dark Matter | Discussion Session

By Musawwir Ahmed - Team Publications The discussion commenced with the mediator floating the question, "Are you familiar with Dark Matter?" and asking ideas regarding the nature of dark matter. A number of people raised hands in affirmation, and for those who didn't (and those of you who might be in the dark) a brief … Continue reading Dark Matter | Discussion Session

Recapping 2020’s Accomplishments in Physics

This year - despite being mainly obscured by the shadows of COVID-19 - has given some amazing breakthroughs in the field of Physics. Some main developments in this domain are as follows: The scientists at CERN have recently detected a rare phenomena of the God particles i.e. Higgs Boson. It was observed that a boson … Continue reading Recapping 2020’s Accomplishments in Physics

A Journey Through Time

By Ramish Saeed (Team Publications) On 28th January 2021, NUST Physics and Astronomy Society (NPAS) hosted the first event of their series “A Journey Through Time” with Dr. Abdullah Sadiq. The event was held online on MS Teams because of pandemic situation and country-wide lockdown. Despite that, it was a major success. Dr. Abdullah Sadiq … Continue reading A Journey Through Time

Generating Ultra-Fast Data Transfer using Sound and Light Waves

Recently, researchers have discovered that they can control terahertz quantum cascade lasers in such a way that can lead to the transmission of data at the rate of 100 gigabits per second. If this is achieved then it will be almost thousand times faster than a fast Ethernet operating at 100 megabits a second. Basically, … Continue reading Generating Ultra-Fast Data Transfer using Sound and Light Waves
