Revision as of 02:45, 31 December 2015
The following are the goals of the SSE Physics Lab:
1. Preparing an institutional and national platform for student-driven experimental research in physics.
2. Indigenous development of experiments for the laboratory and demonstrations for the classroom environment.
3. Training SSE students in world class experimental physics through required and optional lab courses.
4. Sharing expertise, resources and training in physics education with sister institutions and organizations in the country and the region.
Round-up: A round-up of Physlab's activities over the past five years. Written by Sabieh Anwar (January 2015).
Stories from Physlab Studio 2015
 An article entitled Comment on 'Measurement of the magnetic field of small magnets with a smartphone: a very economical laboratory practice for introductory physics courses' has been published in the European Journal of Physics. It is a comment on an article by Enrique Arribas and talks about possibilities for exploring various magnetic phenomena. |
 A classroom demonstration exhibiting the phenomena of surface charges on current carrying conductors has been prepared at the Physlab. It is a well known and simple phenomenon though seldom talked about and is somewhat difficult to observe. Read more |
 The 3rd Annual Open House of Physics Laboratory Work 2015 was held at the Physics Department, SBASSE, LUMS. The highlight of the event was the "Physics Studio", a new platform for undergraduate students where they design and initiate new lab projects, all based on basic physics. |
 Congratulations! Physlab wins the National Innovation Award by the Pakistan Innovation Foundation for building one of the most innovative experimental physics laboratory in Pakistan. Click here to read more |
 Senior Research Scientist, Dr. Murtaza Saleem and Assistant Professor Dr. Salman Noshear Arshad from Chemistry department, attended the FEI NovaNanoSEM course at the FEI NanoPort in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Click here to read more |
 This new classroom demonstration exhibits the concept of mutual inductance. Using simple laboratory equipment, an amplified current through a homemade solenoid is picked by another piece of wire wound around it and then compared on an oscilloscope. Click here to read more |
 An article entitled Video motion analysis with automated tracking: an insight has been published in the European Journal of Physics. It ingeniously describes the use of elementary techniques in computer vision and motion photography for the analysis of well known experiments in interactive instructional physics laboratories. |
 The physlab now has a new facility called the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). It is used to measure the magnetic properties of materials as a function of magnetic field, temperature, and time.Read more |
 Dr. Sabieh Anwar of the Physics Department welcomed the batch of 2019 through a motivational lecture on experimental physics and introduced audience to the idea of measurement and the key characteristics of the experimental culture. Read more |
 The physlab participated in the opening lecture of Dr. Waqar Zaidi from Social Sciences School in a course on industrialization. Hafiz Rizwan demonstrated a modern machine tool 'The bandsaw' as a case study of the industrialization movement. |
 Several major refinements were made to almost all the advanced and introductory laboratory experiments with simplifications to the apparatus, revision of manuals, automation of manually intensive tasks and improved opportunities for data analysis. Click here to read more. |
 This Fall 2015, join Dr. Muhammad Sabieh Anwar in the exciting course of Electricity and Magnetism describing electromagnetic interactions and Quantum Mechanics, one of mankind's most superior theories unraveling diverse physical phenomena. |
