Keep your fingers crossed for good weather this Friday, because it's our next Starry Nights Online! Watch our livestream from wherever you are from 9:30 - 11pm PDT. https://ow.ly/jBYL50RmzIK #sfu #sfuscience #sfuphysics #vancouver #burnaby #TrottierObservatory #space

Starry Nights is ON tonight at #SFU Trottier Observatory from 9pm-midnight. Our targets include the Moon, a variable star, sparkling open star clusters, an ancient globular cluster, and a pair of interacting galaxies! Thanks to Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Vancouver for making these events a success! https://ow.ly/c67550RkauB #sfuscience #astronomy #sfuphysics #vancouver #burnaby #TrottierObservatory

Congratulations to #SFUPhysics professor Stephanie Simmons for making it onto #Macleans 2024 Power List for Tech! Simmons’ research focuses on developing cutting-edge silicon photonics, and their potential as a platform for ideal #quantum processing and transmitting interfaces for future quantum networks.

A collaboration led by #SFUPhysics researchers Chapin Korosec and Nancy Forde has created the first synthetic protein-based motor that moves like a Roomba and uses biological reactions to fuel itself. Their work adds to our understanding how molecular motors work in nature, and how they might be used in the future for medical applications.

Meet #SFUPhysics professor Gopi Mohlabeng! His work aims to solve some fundamental puzzles particle physics cannot explain, like what #darkmatter and #darkenergy are made of, and why there is more matter than anti-matter in the universe. Learn about the mysteries of the dark universe at his talk at #TRIUMF Saturday Morning Lectures this weekend at #SFU Surrey: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/saturday-morning-lectures-spring-2024-sfu-tickets-807327948627?aff=oddtdtcreator&_gl=1*rjw38o*_ga*MjAwNDc0OTg3NC4xNjg2NjEzNDIy*_ga_R4BCVYL1QF*MTcwNzMzMzQ2Ny41NzMuMS4xNzA3MzM1OTU5LjYwLjAuMA&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=43013bc8-d9fa-4f82-89a6-c4018c15de6e #SFUScience #physics #particlephysics

Congratulations to #SFUPhysics professor Mike Hayden and all the ALPHA Collaboration researchers at #CERN, whose observations of gravity's effect on #antimatter has been selected as one of Physics World's top 10 breakthroughs of the year! https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2023/09/simon-fraser-university-researchers-involved-in-major-internatio.html #SFUScience #SFU #PhysicsWorld #physics
