On Wednesday, July 2021, 7, the Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Fundamental Engineering, Nippon Institute of Technology will be able to experience the unique experiments of the Department of Chemistry, Environment, and Bio for junior and senior high school students at the "28th Chemistry, Environment, and Bioscience School." To hold.No entry fee.

 The science school provides opportunities for high school students studying chemistry and biology to increase their interest in chemistry, environment, and biology through experiments.It will be held at Nippon Institute of Technology Saitama Campus Applied Chemistry Building from 7:28 to 13:15 on Wednesday, July 16 (until 4:1 for those who wish to visit the laboratory).You can choose one of the following four experiments to participate, such as fingerprint detection with gold nanoparticles and metal melting experiments.

● Experiment 1 "The world of bright gold nanoparticles-Let's detect invisible fingerprints-"
Gold, which has been reduced to nanometers, is used as a detection reagent because it exhibits bright colors such as red and blue. You can actually experience making gold nanoparticles in a red solution and take on the challenge of detecting fingerprints.

● Experiment 2 "Let's melt and mix metal-more serious than alchemy-"
Through experiments in which metals are actually melted, it is verified that freezing point depression and supercooling, which are seen in aqueous solutions, also appear in liquid metals.

● Experiment 3 "Let's make shiny slime! -Mechanism that the material emits light-"
Slime is a polymer substance made from polyvinyl alcohol.While blending luminescent materials to make shiny slime, you will also learn the principle of how substances shine.

● Experiment 4 "Fourth state of matter: Plasma-Let's see the color of the aurora-"
The aurora is a type of plasma that emits light when nitrogen and oxygen molecules are excited.In the experiment, a vacuum state is created on the ground, plasma is generated there with various gases, and the experience of seeing the color of the aurora is experienced.

 The capacity of each experiment is about 5 people.Those who wish to participate should apply by telephone to the dedicated form or the Department of Applied Chemistry office by Sunday, July 2021, 7 (25-0480-33).From the viewpoint of public health, the contents may be changed or canceled.

Nippon Institute of Technology

"New era of actual engineering" Education that changes, philosophy that does not change

Nippon Institute of Technology, which opened in 1967, is developing its own "practical engineering" learning, such as taking specialized experiments, practical training, and drafting subjects from the first year.Currently, the Faculty of Core Engineering, the Faculty of Advanced Engineering, and the Faculty of Architecture are organized into 3 faculties, 7 departments, and 2 courses, and inherit and develop traditional practical engineering education.Looking to further deepen practical engineering education […]
