NASA has selected the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) mission, co-led by 成人VR视频 Professor Darryl Haggard, to advance to the next stage of its $1 billion .
On November 15th 鈥 17th, the Trottier Space Institute and the Department of Physics hosted its 9th . This friendly coding competition brought together 163 people, from grade 10 high school students to graduate students. Participants had a total of 24 hours over the span of 3 days to create computing and physical science projects in teams. .
Paleontologists and students from 成人VR视频 have documented Saskatchewan's first confirmed fossil specimens of Centrosaurus, a horned dinosaur species closely related to Triceratops.
The search, conducted in Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park along the South Saskatchewan River, also unearthed a rare mix of dinosaur and marine fossils, shedding light on a dinosaur fauna which existed on the edge of an ancient sea at a time of rising sea levels long before humans roamed the earth.

In August 2024, the Redpath Museum was certified as an accredited museum institution by the minist猫re de la Culture et des Communications du Qu茅bec. The accreditation is a seal of quality confirming that the museum meets internationally recognized requirements and standards for governance, museological practices, and heritage presentation. With this recognition, the Redpath joined a network of 180 other accredited museums across the province.
Professors (Earth and Planetary Sciences) and (Physics) have been awarded 2024 Arthur B. McDonald Fellowships from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council听of Canada (NSERC).
These awards recognize early-career academic researchers, providing them with a $250,000 research grant over two years.
Professor Henri Darmon has been elected to the 2025 Class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society (AMS).

Small, feathered dinosaurs appear to have used their wings to run at speeds previously thought impossible without flight, according to a new study by an international team of scientists, including 成人VR视频 Biology Professor Hans Larsson. The , published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), sheds new light on the origins of bird flight.

Title: Can we geometrically sense the shape of a molecule?
Abstract: Can we hear the shape of a drum? This question was negatively answered decades ago by many authors including Gordon, Webb, Wolpert, who constructed non-isometric planar shapes that have the identical eigenvalues of the Laplace operator (Bull. AMS, v.27 (1992), p.134-138). The more general question: can we sense the shape of a rigid object such as a cloud of atomic centers representing a molecule?
Twenty-two speakers from the faculties of Arts, Science and Engineering presented their research in 鈥渓ightning talks鈥 to more than 480 undergraduate students at Soup & Science, a biannual event.
