July 27, 2012. On Friday July 27th we visited Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati.
This lab holds the largest electron accelerator in Europe; it is called
DAPHNE. (Shown in picture.) Along with DAPHNE, they are running
FINUDA, which is a machine that studies the strong
force by putting a foreign body into the nucleus. Also KLOE, a particle
detector, which looks at kaon rays in search of differences between
matter and anti-matter. We also heard a lecture on nano-technology. From
their lecture we learned about how they used
carbon nano tubes to conduct electricity. These carbon nano tubes are
even better than copper wire when it comes to conducting!
Physics Joke of the day!
Who solves mysteries involving electricity?
Sherlock Ohms
