Making STEAM come true: How DOST’s science bus sparks students’ interest inscholarships and science careers

After a pandemic-forced hiatus, the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) restarts nuLab, a mobile science laboratory for senior high school students....

Biologists Assess Importance of Tree Cavities for Forest Birds in Subic, Philippines

Many birds rely on tree cavities, or tree holes, for nesting and raising their young. Woodpeckers, known as primary excavators, can create their own...

Pinoy studes shine in legacy science Olympiads 

International competitions in basic sciences prove to be constant witnesses to Filipino youth prowess.  In July, three Philippine teams took the world stage and netted...

PHL Robotics Team scores double victory at 2019 FIRST Lego League World Championship Houston

A cozier life in space awaits astronauts, thanks to the impressive creations of The Philippine Robotics National Team. Their awe-inspiring robots earned two coveted...

UP Scientists Uncover Influence of Reflected Shock Waves on Plasma Behavior

Scientists around the world have extensively studied the expansion of laser-produced plasma (LPP) and the shock waves it generates in a background gas. However, little attention has been given to how the reflected shock wave—one that bounces back from a surface—affects the expanding...

UP Scientists Identify Plant Boosting Bacteria in Bamboo and Corn

Farmers usually use chemical fertilizers to grow their crops, but these can be expensive and may harm the environment. A more efficient and cheaper alternative is the use of specific microorganisms called plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). PGPB help plants absorb more nutrients and...

Recent UP Study Finds Social Media a Valuable Tool for Understanding Philippine Tarsiers

The world of social media has become an increasingly important source of data for biodiversity and conservation, especially for rare or little-known species such as the Philippine tarsier. However, despite its popularity, there is still limited information about where it lives and how...

Biologists Assess Importance of Tree Cavities for Forest Birds in Subic, Philippines

Many birds rely on tree cavities, or tree holes, for nesting and raising their young. Woodpeckers, known as primary excavators, can create their own cavities. In contrast, non-excavators—also called secondary cavity nesters—depend on naturally occurring or previously excavated cavities for reproduction. These birds...

From vulnerability to leadership: Mindanao youth train for climate action in Camiguin

“Lumaki kami sa kwentong puro doktor, pulis, o firefighters ang bida. But what we didn’t realize until this camp was that there are other heroes, too—those who silently worked behind the scenes. They understood the climate, protected the oceans, and cared for our...

UP Scientists’ Invention Could Lower Terahertz Antenna Device Cost

Scientists from the University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) have developed a new semiconductor structure that could lead to more affordable and reliable terahertz (THz) technology—used in applications ranging from medical imaging to high-speed wireless communication. One of the goals...
