European Researchers' Night - LEAF project, the research that takes care of our Planet's future
This year too, the event is part of the European Researchers' Night - LEAF project, acronym for "heaL thE plAnet's Future", coordinated at a national level by Frascati Scienza.
The complete program of the initiative at the link: nottedeiricercatori.unipr.it
Program of events at the CNR-IMEM Institute:
--- < New challenges for new materials > ---
HOURS: 4pm – 8pm. Free access to the activities.
• Storage and use of clean energy thanks to magnetic materials. Magnetic materials play a key role in the transformation of energy from renewable sources and its conservation: we will show this with easy-to-understand experiments and demonstration devices.
• Smart sensors for water saving, health and well-being. Real-time monitoring of physiological parameters in the human body can provide strong support for the development of adequate therapies. Furthermore, climate change imposes the need to save the planet's water resources. Both objectives can benefit from the implementation of smart sensors whose principle and operation will be illustrated through the exhibition of some demonstrators.
• Plastic that does not pollute. Applications regarding flexible electronic devices based on plastic materials capable of conducting electricity will be shown. •Renewable energies for the future of the planet. Simple devices powered by electricity from renewable sources (photovoltaic, wind, etc.) will be on display to demonstrate how it is possible to reduce the use of polluting fossil fuels in daily life, so as to counteract the serious effects induced by climate change
• Superconductivity and environment. How do you obtain a special property of matter on a planet that is too hot and has a bland atmosphere like Earth? Fun games to understand the main properties of a superconducting material. Why are there no natural materials on our planet that are superconductors? How superconducting materials can be used to reduce the impact of the transport system and electricity networks on the environment.
• Electron microscopy, shapes and properties of materials down to atomic dimensions. It aims to observe living forms on a sub-micrometer scale and materials for electronic devices down to atomic dimensions.
• The diffraction of light and x-rays by gratings and crystals. The diffraction of laser beams of different colors by films with periodic corrugations will be shown to show the analogy of the diffraction of (invisible) x-rays by the periodic arrangement of atoms in crystals.
• Crystals among us, examples of crystallization. Interactive experiments of various types to be carried out easily and in a few minutes aimed at showing the first phase of crystal synthesis.
