Join a wide selection of interactive family events set to take place across the University's West Cambridge Campus.
Topics explored and spaces open to visit on Saturday 16th March 2024 include:
This year, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the ground-breaking discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. But what exactly are quantum dots, and are there other nanomaterials of significant interest? Furthermore, how are these tiny wonders contributing to the advancement of society?
Make a working Grätzel solar cell using a few basic materials including something surprising – blackberries – with scientists at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
Join us for a presentation in our Business Lounge to explain how carbon-free, ammonia energy can shape the future, followed by a live hydrogen ignition demonstration on the balcony outside the lounge.
Drop in and explore the world of materials science through our table-top displays and interactive activities. Find out how we can make electricity from colourful windows, investigate how our technology wastes energy, see a wire change shape by itself and use a microscope to look at what’s inside a piece of metal.
