Live Presentations and Events

CIQM Museum of Science educators share the story of quantum materials research through live public presentations, delivered every week. CIQM faculty work with Museum staff to develop accessible public presentations about their own research.  CIQM students volunteer time to work with family audiences with new hands-on demos and displays. The very popular Amazing Nano Brothers Juggling Show brings nanoscience, physics and chemistry to schools in several states.

The Amazing Nano Brothers use humor, athleticism, and metaphor to take audiences on a thrilling tour of the nanoworld. Here, the rings and pins represent the 0's and 1's of computer code.
