Group dinner before summer
Tom Mullin was visiting again, and the many interns and Project students also joing the fun!
Open Day at Science Park
It is always a good idea to show cool physics in everyday objects and materials to the general audience!
Applied Granular Materials
Getting inspired by a feed training center to learn more about all the ways granular materials are fun, and diffucult, to work with!
Group Social
We played a laser tag game in Laser Tag Amsterdam! .Guess who won…
Science fair fun
We had a demo at the annual EXPEDITIE NEXT, in Zwolle this time. We’ll be back next year with more fluidized beds, hourglasses, kinetic sand, Janssen effects and maybe more!
The gravity of the situation
Visiting Olfa D’Angelo doing hypergravity research on granular materials at ESA / ESTEC in Noordwijk. The museum visit was the cherry on the cake.
Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2 observations
The BSc program “Natuurkunde & Sterrenkunde” (Physics & Astronomy) at VU/UvA has a course called “NSP2” in the Fall. Students in this course, and the teachers, do various observations and sometimes stumble over unexpected things. Old glycerine is one, but funny droplet dynamics in thin film flows are another. Heavy liquids included as well. AndContinue reading “Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2 observations”
