Biophysicist Ozzy Mermut in the Faculty of Science was awarded a grant from York鈥檚 Catalyzing Interdisciplinary Research Clusters (CIRC) program to develop her team鈥檚 new photon counting technology to study algal blooms in Indigenous lakes of Tkaronto and Six Nations. The project team, which also includes Professors William Pietro and Sylvie Morin (Chemistry) and Adjunct […]
快播视频 and an international team of astrophysicists have made an ambitious attempt to simulate the formation of galaxies and the cosmic large-scale structure throughout staggeringly large swaths of space. First results of their 鈥淢illenniumTNG鈥 project are published in a series of 10 articles in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The […]
The Astronomers in Residence (AIR) program, an initiative by the Allan I. Carswell Observatory, partners with the Killarney Provincial Park to enable astronomers to lead presentations and shows using the park鈥檚 observatory. It runs this year from May 1 to Oct. 15. Launched in 2022, the program calls on qualified astronomers to apply to run […]
Scientists have discovered a new way to investigate the structure of protons using neutrinos, known as 鈥榞host particles鈥 Media Release from February 1, 2023 Scientists are that much closer to understanding protons today after using a novel technique involving a high-energy neutrino beam to precisely measure their size, which could change how these kinds of […]
In late August, nine undergraduate students from 快播视频 packed their bags and flew across the pond to join students at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany for the 鈥淎strophysical Laboratories of Fundamental Physics鈥 summer school. The summer school was the culmination of a larger initiative called EXPLORE: EXPeriential Learning Opportunity through Research and Exchange, which […]
Media Release from September 29, 2022 Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers from the Canadian NIRISS Unbiased Cluster Survey (CANUCS) team, including 快播视频, have identified the most distant globular clusters ever discovered. These dense groups of millions of stars may be relics that contain the first and oldest stars in the universe. […]
On July 1, Associate Professor Sarah Rugheimer began her appointment as the new Allan I. Carswell Chair for the Public Understanding of Astronomy in the Faculty of Science at 快播视频. Rugheimer is an astrophysicist interested in understanding how to detect life on exoplanets by looking for atmospheric biosignatures (i.e., atmospheric evidence for past or […]
Media release from June 8, 2022 State-of-the-art, remote-controlled domes will replace old ones from the 1960s Two new state-of-the-art domes will replace the original 1960s domes at the Allan I. Carswell Astronomical Observatory at 快播视频, opening the night sky for better viewing of planets, stars, nebulas and more. Preparation for the new domes is […]
A 快播视频 researcher is advancing the use of biophotonics to gain a better understanding of age-related disorders of the eye and brain. Biophotonics uses light technology, including lasers, and is a burgeoning field of research and discovery. Biophysicist Ozzy Mermut has a special interest in age-related disorders of the eye and brain, as well […]
