It’s certainly been a challenge, maintaining science-outreach efforts in 2020…
But a group of a FLEET researchers found a way to showcase their labs at UNSW recently, spotlighting the facilities for prospective students at the university’s virtual open day.
- Introduction to the undergrad physics labs (Krittika Kumar, Matt Rendell, Yoni Ashlea-Alava and Karina Hudson)
- Measuring superconducting quantum interference: a third-year experiment
- Studying thermodynamics with a fully-enclosed ‘Stirling engine’
- Tracking the paths of exotic and (occasionally) interstellar particles with a cloud chamber
- Demonstrating quantum superposition on a desktop optical apparatus
