Trieste Next 2016: Elettra stand

Trieste Next 2016: Record-breaking Edition with a turnout of 50,000 visitors over 3 days.

Elettra Stand, Gazebo AREA Science Park

EXPLORING THE BEAMLINES OF ELETTRA

What are the synchrotron’s beamlines for? People visiting the Elettra stand discovered them and their various applications, straight from the researchers and thanks to the various "science stories" rich in words and pictures displayed on 5 totems. The event also offered the opportunity to engage in experiments under the microscope and play with models of molecules, while children were entertained with the original story of Mr. Electron, a very peculiar character racing on a very special track.

Hosted at the AREA Lab space, the famous Crazy Scientists and their special effects mesmerised the crowd with their show At the Speed of Light.

At the AREA Lab in the AREA Science Park Gazebo, a curious audience followed a number of presentations including FERMI: Ultrafast Science by Michele Manfredda, Mammography under Synchrotron Light by Giuliana Tromba, Let’s Cure Ourselves with Nanomedicine by Pietro Parisse, and The Post-Human Brain: Chronicles of Nano-Invasions by Denis Scaini.
