On Monday, July 2022, 7, the Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Fundamental Engineering, Nippon Institute of Technology will hold a "Chemistry / Environment / Bioscience School" for high school and junior high school students to experience the unique experiments of the Department of Chemistry / Environment / Bio. hold.Currently recruiting participants.
This is the 16th "Chemistry / Environment / Bioscience School".We will provide high school and junior high school students who are interested in chemistry, environment, and biotechnology with the opportunity to experience experiments unique to the Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Fundamental Engineering. You can participate in one of the four experiments.The contents of the experiment are as follows.
① "The world of vivid gold nanoparticles-Let's detect invisible fingerprints-" Dr. Kenichi Niikura
Gold reduced to nanometers, which is used as a detection reagent to exhibit bright colors such as red and blue.Experience the making of gold nanoparticles in red solution and challenge to detect fingerprints.
(XNUMX) "Let's decompose light-manufacturing and experimenting with a simple spectroscope-" Dr. Kanji Iizuka
Why is a rainbow formed?At Nippon Institute of Technology, we are promoting "actual engineering" to learn through experiments, and we will make a device called a spectroscope and experience observing various lights.You can take the manufactured spectroscope home with you.
③ "Mini Superconducting Maglev-Let's experience the magnetic levitation of superconductors in front of you!" Dr. Yasuhiro Ikezoe
In the Superconducting Maglev, which is scheduled to open in 2027, the vehicle will operate at ultra-high speeds of 500 km / h or more while floating on the railroad tracks.The most important part of the linear is the superconducting magnet, which uses the material invented by the Japanese.In the experiment, a levitation experiment will be conducted using a real cable used for superconducting magnets.
④ "Let's make a mirror by sputtering-manipulate atoms with plasma-" Dr. Shuichi Watanabe
Particles of various elements excited by plasma are moving in the brightly emitting region.A metal atom can be selected from these particles and deposited on glass to create a mirror-like surface, which is called sputtering.In the experiment, a thin aluminum film is actually formed on the glass substrate.You can take the mirror you made with you.
Recruitment of about 5 people for each experiment.If you wish to participate, please apply by Thursday, July 2022, 7 on the university homepage or by telephone (21-0480-33, Department of Applied Chemistry Office).No entry fee.
