As announced, on June 15, 2024, we appeared at the 27th Science Picnic of Polish Radio and the Copernicus Science Center. Our stand could be visited from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
All visitors, including the youngest, were very enthusiastic about our “Extraordinary World of Microflows”, where they could learn about the key physical phenomena that determine the properties of flow on such small scale. Laminar flow, diffusion, and Brownian motion the Picnic participants observed on a large screen showing an image of a microfluidic channel under a microscope, they also learned how we prepare such systems in laboratory conditions, and they even created their own microfluidic systems from blocks. A puzzle referring to the construction of such systems from modules with blocks was very popular.
Thank you for your great interest and we are looking forward to the next edition of the picnic, which we will certainly be attending.
