Fascination Science public lecture Tuesday (27 November) - Putting on the Squeeze: High-Pressure Physics and Chemistry
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series is on Tuesday 27th November 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Auckland campus in Albany in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.
Putting on the Squeeze: High-Pressure Physics and Chemistry
We are put under pressure all the time. If not by us or others, our atmosphere does the job! All the air above us weighs us down. What happens to matter if we increase this pressure further? At pressures in the inner core of the earth where we find about 300 million times the atmospheric pressure, or at even higher pressures found inside stars? Gases like oxygen and hydrogen eventually become metallic - conducting electric current.
Come and see Dr. Elke Pahl conduct experiments to understand what pressure is, how it influences our life and get an insight into current research on materials under ultra-high pressure.
We will be back in 2019 with our monthly Fascination Science lecture series, so keep an eye out for updates on our Fascination Science website www.massey.ac.nz.... The first talk in 2019 will be a Fascination Science Special on Thursday, 24th January 2019 at 7pm by Kirsi Peltonen, Aalto University, Finland on 'Sensual Mathematics'.
