ESR 1 Marco Franceschini and ESR 2 Martina Crosta participated in a “KinderUni” outreach activity, for kids aged between 7 and 12 years, organized at the University of Vienna by Bonifazi group on the 21st of July, 2022. The topic was chemistry of colors, and the kinds performed different experiments (red cabbage pH indicator, thermochromic slime and ink chromatography). They also received a guide to repeat these experiments at home.

In this short video, ESR 12 Veronika Kost (UNITS) explains the basics of photoluminescence. Veronika is working on the synthesis of luminescent Boron and Nitrogen doped Graphene Quantum Dots. Part of Veronika’s research consists in the study of their photoluminescent behaviour.
