Program
| 09h00-09h15 | Meeting in the main hall IMX (plan) |
| 09h15-15h45 | Discover the science of materials and meet the researchers at the Institute of Materials in their laboratories. You will participate to small-scale lab experiments illustrating the fascinating field of materials science that surrounds us. Why is paper a gift from nature? The mystery of materials inspired by nature From atoms to materials Composite materials for a sustainable future Fibers and nanostructures: viscosity for miniaturization From macro to nano: the car of the future The secrets of unbreakable glass Numerical simulation of materials for chemical batteries Superconductivity Tribology: a weapon against hunger Communicating with nanometric magnets Metallurgy in the service of research Abundant semiconductors for sustainable solar panels |
| 12h15-13h30 | Lunch break with sandwiches. SMX students will be present to answer your questions about Materials science & engineering studies at EPFL |
| 15h45-16h | Wrap-up, Q&A |
