The Brazilian Biophysical Society has guided the field for almost a century. Since 1936 it has linked scientists, students and institutions through workshops, meetings, and conferences. These gatherings have built a strong reputation for biophysics across Brazil and the wider Latin American region.
Thunderstorms are like giant mixing bowls in the sky. Inside these clouds, wind whips water droplets and ice crystals around at high speeds. The smallest drops get pushed to the top of the cloud, while heavier ice pieces sink or get dragged down by downward winds. Every time these pieces bump into e
The idea of putting astronauts into a deep sleep or freezing them sounds like something out of a movie, but scientists are taking it seriously. In the story of “Project Hail Mary, ” a teacher wakes up on a ship miles away from Earth, but that fictional scene is just the tip of the iceberg when it co
The annual gathering at the Lory Student Center turned ordinary physics into a playground for more than 8, 000 young visitors. Instead of following the usual order, this rewrite starts with the hands‑on excitement: children lifted objects with robotic arms, flew model planes on simulators, spun l
The sound that rings out when a player slides on a hardwood floor is not just noise; it’s the result of tiny, rapid changes happening inside the shoe. A scientist from Harvard studied this by sliding sneakers over a glass surface, recording the sounds with a microphone and capturing the motion with
The line that has become a meme in crime‑thriller circles comes from the first season of a popular detective series. A quiet, philosophical officer says, “Time is a flat circle. ” The phrase feels like a simple observation about cycles, yet it carries deeper philosophical baggage that the show gradu
Kenneth W. Ford, a man who touched many lives and fields, passed away at 99. His journey was marked by significant contributions to science, education, and leadership. Ford's story began in a small town, where his curiosity led him to devour books on various sciences. This early passion set the stag
A recent experiment in China has shown that Niels Bohr was right in his debate with Albert Einstein about quantum mechanics. The experiment was based on a thought experiment proposed by Einstein almost a century ago. Bohr argued that certain properties of particles cannot be measured at the same tim
Winter is here, and so are the winter jackets. But have you ever wondered how these jackets keep you warm? It's not just about the fluffiness or the thickness. It's about science and technology working together to keep you cozy. The science behind winter jackets is based on three main ways heat mov
A man from Maryland recently made his childhood dream come true. While others were celebrating Thanksgiving on the ground, he was floating in space. This man is Chris Williams. He grew up in Potomac, Maryland. He has always been interested in space. He studied hard and worked in important places. He
