So today was veryyy cool . We got more into the art part of this and i really liked the labs we went to. We saw Olivia’s hair through the scanning electron microscope which went as fast as her splitting it off and then right into the machine. The technology was pretty cool, touch screen, and focused it a lot more than i thought it could/expected.
We then moved to another lab where we learned about Sol-gel. Which can be applied in optical, biomedical, electronic, and aerogel uses. I found the sol-gel very interesting and i liked them because it was illuminated. I learned that it was a suspension of solid particles in a liquid and that it could make ceramic and glass at room temperature.
Next were learned about Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic, and superhydrophobic surfaces. The women demonstrated with i think it was copper sheets, and showed the difference between each one when water was poured on them. It was pretty neat how on the superhydrophbic surface the water appeared to just bounce off.
