The geneticist and the protein engineer are building a biosensor
At the frontier of chemistry and biology, the nanometre scale is where the geneticist and the protein engineer do their research. What are they looking for? Right now, the secret to making a biosensor that will detect the emergence of a harmful substance earlier than anyone else, because they need to stop it from spreading. In the toolbox are the tools of recombinant DNA technology. The wise old man in the background is evolution itself. The [...]
So that more remains in the till… Conscious thinking from the individual level to circular trade (available in Nagykanizsa and its catchment area)
Circular trade is much more than recycling. The revalued opportunities are reflected in the corporate approach throughout the entire commercial value chain, from the design of products through the manufacturing process to how consumers (re)use them. The presentation will highlight what consumers can do for sustainability, providing examples of circular approach changes in commercial companies that will be of interest to all participants [...]
Event Planning – DIY for a Lasting Experience (Available in Nagykanizsa and surrounding areas)
Event management is a project management discipline that focuses on all aspects of events, from choosing the venue to monitoring guest satisfaction. It is the result of a concerted effort that differs in terms of theme, marketing, origin of the initiative, financing and much more, as well as venue management. As consumers, we can do it all (IS), but where is the point at which it makes sense to leave it to a professional [...]
Dreamy beautiful days… – honestly about global sustainability
Despite all the loud international political declarations and conventions, the civilised world is showing signs of falling apart. The voice of science is heard by politicians only when they want to or when they really have to, and the finite nature of critical resources is not taken into account in any grand plan to transform the way society and the economy work. Meanwhile, the natural processes are finally [...]
-196°C – Experiments with liquid nitrogen
Nitrogen, which makes up more than 78% of the air, is colourless, odourless and dull. In contrast, extremely cold liquid nitrogen - minus 196°C - can be used to perform more and more interesting experiments. In this lecture, we will observe how ordinary materials behave at such low temperatures, produce liquid oxygen and build a nitrogen-powered rocket. The lecture is suitable for ages 9 and [...]
Radioactivity
Since their discovery, radioactivity has been researched and used in many different ways. They have been used to generate electricity, to identify and cure diseases, or to look deep into things/objects. Many scientific discoveries, advanced practical applications and positive effects have been discovered, and we use and benefit from them every day. But at the same time we must not forget [...]
When the liquid obeys the command – Applications of electro- and magnetorheological materials
Electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) materials are fluids with special properties that can change their properties under the influence of an external electric or magnetic field. These fluids have now developed numerous applications in modern engineering. They are used in a controllable way, for example, in automobile shock absorbers, to damp vibrations in washing machines, to reduce the vibration of stepping motors, to transfer torque in brakes and clutches, or even in the field of medicine.
The Alchemist Kobold's Day – Spectacular Chemical Experiments
Wake up (at 5 o'clock) :-)! Milk, coffee or vanilla milk for breakfast? In the morning rush hour, the traffic lights are out of order and the policeman even gives our little leprechaun a hard time :-). So he has to take a lift to work, where he makes colour-changing tights! He is very tired at work, and can't wait for the horn to sound to signal that he's done. By lunch [...]
