This is big.

Scientists have just discovered a new state of matter Researchers have just discovered evidence of a mysterious new state of matter in a real material. The state is known as 'quantum spin liquid' and it causes electrons - one of the fundamental, indivisible building blocks of matter - to break down...

"IIUI Sports Galla 2015: FBAS won the semi-final of Basket Ball from IIIE"

IIU Sports Galla 2015: FBAS won the semi-final of Basket Ball from IIIE at huge margin of 32 points. Match was started at 5:30 pm in basketball court of International Islamic University, Islamabad Pakistan. Dr. Javed Iqbal Saggu (Physics) Incharge of FBAS Basket Team was on the occasion of match and supported his team at each moment. Captain Raja Farhan Qayyum of FBAS Team who is also well known player of University Team said that this all is due to hard work of boys and they played very well. The team was consisted of Vice captain Hassan Ahmad, Muhammad Raza Farooq, Zain Ali, Umer Pervaiz, Sharukh Rukhsar, Arslan Nayyer, Zeshan Shafiq, Sohaib Hashmi, and Waleed. Dr. Saggu said that our FBAS team is favorite for Final match against FET team which is going to be held on Monday.

It's the birthday of Abdus Salam, who was born in 1926 in Jhang, a rural community in what is now Pakistan. Salam attended Punjab University and then Cambridge University, where he earned a PhD in 1952. In the 1960s, he and, independently, Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg identified a symmetry that is shared in a class of field theories by the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces. The symmetry implied that the two forces are really different manifestations of the same force, which Salam named electroweak. Glashow, Salam and Weinberg's unification also predicted the existence of two bosons: W, which mediates beta decay, and Z, which mediates the transfer of momentum, spin and energy in neutrino scattering. In 1973 a clear manifestation of the Z was discovered in CERN's Gargamelle bubble chamber. Six years later Glashow, Salam and Weinberg were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Salam was also a founder of the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, which has supported the studies of physicists from the developing world since its founding in 1964.

Pakistan becomes associate member of CERN lab Chief of the top particle physics lab says Pakistan has been “a strong participant” in CERN research since the 1990s.

"MATERIAL QUESTION"

Graphene may be the most remarkable substance ever discovered. But what’s it for?

Graphene: Fast, Strong, Cheap, and Impossible to Use | The New Yorker A new material may transform computers, cell phones, and cancer treatments—if we can just figure out how to use it. John Colapinto reports.

A formal meeting of Graduate Research Committee (GRC) held at Department of Physics,IIUI today. M.Phil Physics students of Spring/Fall-2013 defended their research synopsis.
We wish all of them good luck for their future endeavors...!
