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.

 Stories from Physlab Studio 2015, a new paradigm in the undergraduate Physics teaching, where the students are given a hands-on opportunity to tread through the complete life-cycle of developing an experiment. |
 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. |

 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 |
