The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa’s annual Department of Physics and Astronomy<\/a> open house will be held October 8, 8:30 a.m.<\/abbr>–12:00 p.m.<\/abbr>\u00a0at fourteen sites in\u00a0Watanabe Hall.\u00a0The event is free and open to the public. School teachers and students are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n

“The open house will provide an opportunity to learn about physics and what we do here at the physics and astronomy department: collaborating with leading research\u00a0institutes all over the world for wider scientific\u00a0research and accelerating the development of cutting-edge solutions for the worldwide community,” said physics Associate Professor\u00a0Veronica Bindi<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The open house will\u00a0include\u00a0a variety of live demonstrations that illustrate physics principles in mechanics, optics, and electricity and magnetism. The\u00a0hands-on demos will allow attendees to experiment with angular momentum and center of gravity; operate a hover craft; check out polarized light effects; and experience the power of electromagnets, among other fun activities.<\/p>\n

Physics research laboratories will be open\u00a0to the public for this special occasion.<\/p>\n

A full agenda is available\u00a0at the department of physics open house website<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
