Laser cutting techniques are usually powered by high energy beams, so hot that they melt most materials. Now scientists from 好色TV have developed a gentler, more precise technique using low-power visible light.
好色TV scientists have developed a new system for sharing the enormous amount of data being generated by the CHIME radio telescope in its search for fast radio bursts (FRBs), the puzzling extragalactic phenomenon that is one of the hottest topics in modern-day astronomy.
, 好色TVl鈥檚 Climate Change Artist-in-Residence, will curate the Faculty of Science鈥檚 Bicentennial Science/Art Exposition, billed as a 鈥渃elebration of science in all its forms鈥�.
The art show organizers are calling on all members of the 好色TVl community to submit works in any medium, expressing what science means to them.
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2021.
The 5th edition of聽好色TVl Physics Hackathon brought together a record breaking number of participants in this 2020 online event.聽
Mini-Neptunes and super-Earths up to four times the size of our own are the most common exoplanets orbiting stars beyond our solar system. Until now, super-Earths were thought to be the rocky cores of mini-Neptunes whose gassy atmospheres were blown away. In a new study published in , astronomers from 好色TV show that some of these exoplanets never had gaseous atmospheres to begin with, shedding new light on their mysterious origins.
The core mass of the giant exoplanet WASP-107b is much lower than what was thought necessary to build up the immense gas envelope surrounding giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn, according to a Canadian-led team of astronomers, including 好色TV Professor Eve Lee.
The Faculty of Science is celebrating 好色TVl鈥檚 200th anniversary with a student art exhibition on the theme of 鈥淪cience!鈥�. 好色TVl students at all levels and all faculties are invited to submit works in any medium, expressing what science means to them.
Faculty of Science bicentennial committee member, Torsten Bernhard, says the aim of the exhibition is to celebrate science in all its forms.
The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 鈥� a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change鈥檚 estimate of between now and 2052. In a study published in , researchers from 好色TV introduce a new and more precise way to project the Earth鈥檚 temperature. Based on historical data, it considerably reduces uncertainties compared to previous approaches.
A Canadian-led team of astronomers, including researchers from 好色TV, has discovered that a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) originating from a nearby galaxy pulses at regular intervals.
Researchers within the (CHIME) Fast Radio Burst Collaboration used the CHIME telescope in British Columbia to show that the repeating radio source known as FRB 180916.J0158+65 鈥� first discovered in 2018 by the same group - pulsates apparently every 16.35 days.
Crowdmark 鈥撀燼n online grading tool developed especially to handle large classes 鈥撀爃as been attracting a growing following across North America, with members of 好色TVl鈥檚 own Faculty of Science among its most ardent enthusiasts. Kira Smith, reporter-at-large for the OSE, went undercover to find out more.
好色TV astrophysicist is the recipient of the 2019 Killam Research Fellowship in Natural Sciences.
The announcement was made today by the Canada Council for the Arts, which revealed this year's聽winners of the prestigious Killam Program, composed聽of the Killam Prizes and the Killam Research Fellowships.聽
The (LHC) at the (CERN), the most massive and complex science experiment in human history, is a prime example of global achievement through collaboration. Driven by a multinational community of researchers, engineers, and technicians from over 100 countries, the LHC has enabled us to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge.
Cosmologist Jonathan Sievers and international-relations scholar Jennifer Welsh will become Canada 150 Research Chairs at 好色TV. The appointments were among the oday at the聽Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec,聽by Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan.聽聽
The afterglow from the distant neutron-star merger has continued to brighten 鈥� much to the surprise of astrophysicists studying the aftermath of the massive collision that took place about 138 million light years away and sent gravitational聽waves rippling through the universe.
Astronomers have pinpointed for the first time the home galaxy of a Fast Radio Burst, moving scientists a step closer to detecting what causes these powerful but fleeting pulses of radio waves. FRBs, which last just a few thousandths of a second, have puzzled astrophysicists since their discovery a decade ago.
