Laser light can be used to control the motion of atoms and molecules, allowing us to study exotic molecular interactions and their surrounding quantum environments. Join us with Dr. Valery Milner! https://t.co/4XwaoHwUFg @ubcscience @ubcengineering @ubcmsl @triumflab #physics

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a ... COMET! Amazing to behold, our current understanding of comet evolution is the Oort cloud, a giant bubble-like shell which surrounds our solar system. Come learn more! @ubcscience @ubc @triumflab #astronomy #physics

Superconductors (materials which allow current to flow through them with 0 resistance and therefore 0 power loss) have been around for more than 100 years. What do layered nickelates have to offer? https://t.co/iOWAzebJm8 @ubcscience #triumflab @ubcmsl #physics #superconductors

A checklist for a habitable planet would include an atmosphere, oxygen, water...and the capability to host life. Where can we find such a place? Join us with Ilaria Pascucci to learn more about planetary systems! @ubcscience @ubcengineering @triumflab #astronomy #physics

Tomorrow Friday January 24th, 2025 - Join us for the 2025 Planetary Parade viewing party of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus from the roof of HEBB! Hosted by the Department of Physics & Astronomy and the UBC ASTRO Club https://t.co/a1c5TAgZf1 @ubc @ubcscience #astronomy

Gravitational waves, neutron-star smashups - what's not to love about astrophysics? The GW170817 event detection answered many questions but cosmic ripples are still a mystery. Join us with Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz to learn more! https://t.co/rjPHXiD5is @ubcscience @ubc #astronomy

One property of biological processes is its ability to reconfigure and adapt dynamically based on a continuous consumption of matter or energy. How could such properties be infused into next-generation autonomous materials? https://t.co/EQ1Q1CHFXa @ubcscience @ubcengineering

The NASA Psyche mission under PI Lindy Elkins-Tanton is set to visit the metallic asteroid (16) Psyche, as it seems to be the exposed metallic core of an early planet What will we learn from this? Join us to learn more! https://t.co/6wm6bVVSbV @ubcscience @triumflab @astronomy

From all of us at the UBC Department of Physics & Astronomy, here's to a great holiday season! Thank you students, staff, faculty and extended physics family - we truly appreciate everything you do. @ubc @ubcscience @ubcengineering @ubcmsl @triumflab #physics #astronomy

[UBC PHAS @UBCphas]

We understand the observed structure of the universe; however, it's main constituents (like inflation, dark matter and dark energy) are still a mystery. What tools do we have to help? https://t.co/Mk5nShS3mx @ubcscience @ubcengineering @ubcmsl @triumflab @ubcgradschool #astronomy

Save the date! The Faraday Children's Science Show is happening on Sunday, December 8th in HEBB Theatre! This FREE event hosted by UBC physics & astronomy is the best science entertainment ever! https://t.co/J7hXEqBUxs @ubc @ubcscience @ubcengineering @ubcmsl @triumflab #science

[UBC PHAS @UBCphas]

Generative language models like GPT now demonstrate emergence behaviour, which interestingly enough, we can leverage to help us with today's quantum devices! Join us to learn more! https://t.co/jZkg5lVSot @ubcscience @ubcengineering @triumflab @ubcgradschool #quantum #physics

[UBC PHAS @UBCphas]

How can we develop concepts that bridge cell dynamics of individual cells with their collective behaviour? Join us with Joachim Rädler to learn more from this expert in single-cell imaging! https://t.co/7U0jBqMb4w @ubcscience @ubcengineering @ubctriumflab @ubcgradschool @ubcgss
