Scientifica 2015
The fourth Scientifica, held from September 4 to 6, 2015, was a great success. This years' theme was "Light", and the NCCR MUST contributed with a booth, a laser demonstration and a short lecture. http://www.scientifica.ch/scientifica-2015/
The title of our booth was "Forschung, schneller als die Polizei erlaubt", "Research beyond the speed-limit". For impressions of our booth see the photo gallery below, and the D-Phys website.
Prof. Peter Hamm showed laser experiments: "Wie das Gummibärchen zum Laser wird", or "How to turn a jelly baby into a laser" (see also the UZH news item), while Prof. Jean-Pierre Wolf answered the question whether lasers can change the weather "Können Laserstrahlen das Wetter ändern". The short lecture resulted in an article (in German) in the newspaper "20 Minuten" 37 11-09-2015 Wissen.
The NCCR MUST booth was visited by four groups with invited guests, politicians, the ETH president Lino Guzzella, the ETH vice President Research and Corporate Relations Detlef Günther, the ETH rector Sarah Springman, and honorary councillors of the ETH.
