Like every year, we participated in the Science Fair, which took place from Thursday 30th May to Saturday 1st June 2024 at the PVA EXPO exhibition centre in Prague-Letňany. The interest of visitors was huge. Our stand was featured in a report in Studio 6 broadcasted on ČT24 (30. května – Studio 6 | Česká televize (ceskatelevize.cz).
Visitors of our stand could have found out why bubbles are important in reactors, how they help to mix liquids, separate different substances or how they nourish microorganisms. They tried how to (un)mix different-sized particles and what causes water during an earthquake. Then, they learned that sugar is not just a white poison, but also a key component of many processes in the human body. Sugars bound to molecular carriers can even help to treat illnesses. There was also an electrolyser that utilizes atmospheric carbon dioxide and efficiently reduces it into products useful in the energy or chemical industries. A new nanostructured catalyst on a copper electrode offers extreme stability and a possibility to influence the composition of the products by choosing the electrolysis conditions. Finally, a flow-through redox battery was presented that uses compounds extracted from natural resources for energy storage.
Our thanks belong to all visitors and we look forward to seeing you at one of our next events for general public.
