Pupils from Jan-Van-Ruusbroeck College on a work experience placement at the PhLAM Laboratory

Vie du labo

Building on the activities of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and in keeping with its mission to encourage curiosity among young people, the PhLAM laboratory has once again opened its doors to around forty pupils from the Jan-Van-Ruusbroeck College.

On the afternoon of Tuesday 28 April, the sixth-formers first attended a talk on superfluid light, given by Alberto Amo Garcia, a researcher at the PhLAM Laboratory; afterwards, in small groups, they visited various interactive stands on: 

1- Superconductivity for levitating Maglev trains

2- The photoelectric effect: from photons to smartphone pixels

3- Blackbody radiation and the greenhouse effect

4- The Zeeman effect, key to cosmic magnetism 

5- A tour of the ‘Superfluid Light’ laboratory
