“For generations, seasoned research scientists have worked with advanced materials characterization instrumentation including superconducting magnets, vibrating sample magnetometers (VSM), and low-level measurement lock-in amplifiers. However, at the Quantum Design Teaching & Materials Discovery Laboratory at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), undergraduate students have the opportunity to gain firsthand experience with state-of-the-art equipment typically reserved only for graduate students and advanced researchers at most other universities. A Quantum Design Physical Properties Measurement System (PPMS®) VersaLab® is available to students as part of the Applied Physics curriculum and as a resource to perform undergraduate research.” — Stephen Tsui, Professor at CSUSM #DTLcommunity #STEMeducation #physicseducation #educationtechnology #physics #STEM #undergradinSTEM #undergraduatephysics #materialsscience #experientiallearning #CSUSM

New assistant professor Denitsa Baykusheva to bridge the worlds of ultrafast physics and quantum mechanics. Excited to welcome ultrafast laser spectroscopy specialist Denitsa Baykusheva as one of the newest additions to our faculty. Denitsa aims to unify ultrafast physics and quantum mechanics by developing technology that explores the quantum-level interplay of light and matter. Reflecting ISTA's commitment to interdisciplinary work, her research spans physics, physical chemistry, and material science. 💬 "I envision building a team of up to ten highly motivated students and postdocs who are willing to take risks and perform very demanding research at the boundary of what is possible. The level of independence and technical support I receive at ISTA, as well as the solid representation of quantum physics in the campus community, are such that there are very few places like ISTA." – Denitsa Baykusheva Read more about her work here 🔗 https://bit.ly/3PWCxQd #ISTAustria #ISTAresearch #science #research #technology #BasicResearch #scientist #ScientistLife #campus #faculty #chemistry #physics #QuantumPhases #spectroscopy

The Mpemba effect is a fascinating phenomenon where, under certain conditions, hot water can freeze faster than cold water. This counterintuitive occurrence, first observed by Tanzanian student Erasto Mpemba in 1963, has intrigued scientists and sparked numerous studies to understand its underlying mechanisms. 💦🧊 The effect relates to STEM education as it encompasses principles of thermodynamics, physics, and chemistry. Exploring the Mpemba effect encourages critical thinking, experimentation, and analysis, making it an excellent topic for hands-on learning and scientific inquiry. It exemplifies how everyday observations can lead to deeper scientific investigations and contribute to our understanding of the natural world. #explore #explorepage #MpembaEffect #STEMEducation #Thermodynamics #Physics #Chemistry #ScienceExperiment #CriticalThinking #ScientificInquiry #HandsOnLearning #NaturalPhenomenon

As part of the Electricity and Magnetism lab course in B.Sc. Semester 3 (Physics), I introduced an engaging activity for my students: creating small, affordable models based on the principles they've learned in theory and practical sessions. The Goal: Foster creativity and deepen understanding by applying knowledge to build something tangible without requiring expensive materials. The students brought incredible enthusiasm to this challenge! While some models succeeded brilliantly and others faced setbacks, what stood out was the hard work, dedication, and problem-solving they demonstrated throughout the process. Here's a short video showcasing a glimpse of these creative models. A big shoutout to all my students for their efforts—it’s the journey of learning and experimenting that truly matters! Thanks to my Teaching assistant Dhyani Vadgama and Lab assistant, Manasi Raval for the support. Good job ELHANAN CHRISTIAN on the compilation! Let’s keep exploring, learning, and enjoying the beauty of physics together. #Department of Physics, PDEU #PDEU #PhysicsInAction #ElectricityAndMagnetism #HandsOnLearning #StudentSuccess #CreativityInClassroom
