Animation: The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
A tool for producing high-resolution images of object surfaces. Many scientific fields—such as materials science, nanotechnology, and biology—use this technique to study microstructures in order to better understand certain properties of their samples.
Come take a closer look at matter and discover the microscopic world!
Location: Building 16: Inorganic Chemistry Lab
There are 4 time slots available:
2 morning slots: 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM / 11:00 AM – 11:30 AM (Registration by email)
2 afternoon slots (Registration on March 4 directly at the Chemistry booth)
Chemistry and Everyday Life
To demonstrate the role of chemistry in everyday life, particularly through simple and fun culinary experiments …
To show the public and let them try it out for themselves …
Introduction toTU "MagicTU
Presentation of high-tech materials with "magical" properties synthesized by students (superconductors, phosphorescent and fluorescent materials, ferrofluids, synthetic gemstones)
Event: Discovering Atoms! Presented by the UM’s Science Outreach Department
This interactive experience offers a unique exploration of the world of atoms. Come discover what lies behind Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table of elements through the fun and interactive web documentary *Atome Hôtel*. The importance of atoms in our daily lives will be revealed through a light-up display featuring the famous periodic table and housing a multitude of “atomic” objects. The event will also include experiments to demonstrate the connections between atoms and colors.
