Alex Destrieux as an invited researcher in Brno
The treatment of organic materials for photovoltaics is the research topic of Alex Destrieux. After finishing his PhD in Canada, the French scientist came to Brno to continue his work.
Researcher's Night 2024
CEPLANT traditionally joined the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology at this year's Night of Scientists, held on 27 September. This year topic was "Transformation." Around 1,200 visitors came to the premises of MU Faculty of Science even in the bad weather.
Animators from the staff and students prepared an exciting program revealing the transformations in science and physics. In an entertaining and popularizing way, they addressed visitors, young and old. The event featured puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, quizzes, puzzles and beads for the youngest visitors. We did not count how many visitors arrived for any of the physics programs, but the individual stations were always full.
The detailed program offered by the physics departments can be found here.
In the F1 lecture room, visitors could enjoy a guided projection of 3D images from the electron microscope with Dr. Jana Jurmanová and Dr. Tereza Schmidtová. In the F2 lecture room, a lot of experiments showing how and by what the semiconductors have transformed the world. In the basement of Building 6, the hall was full with introduction of thin films and vaccum and basic principle behind of electron microscope. Dr. Zlata Kelar Tučeková guided a transformation tour using optical, laser and electron microscopy. Dr. Matej Fekete and his team showed the preparation and change of and by thin films. In Building 7, under the guidance of Dr. Jakub Kelar and his team, gas discharges and atmospheric-pressure plasma reigned supreme.
