Let there be light: The Chemistry of luminescence by Department of Chemistry

Science Talk, Workshop/Demonstration and Guided Tour/Laboratory Visit Date: October 17, 2023/ March 5, 2024 Time: 3pm - 4:30pm Venue: Chong Yuet Ming Chemistry Building, HKU Main Campus Language: English Capacity: 30 The ability to produce light always fascinates humankind. In this workshop, we will conduct several hands-on activities to explore the chemistry of luminescence. We will introduce students to the basic concepts of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and Light-matter interactions such as colour, absorption, and luminescence. Through this workshop, students will understand the phenomenon of luminescence of organic and inorganic molecules, some of which are found in our daily lives. A brief introduction to luminescent nanomaterials and their applications in new technologies will also be given.

The Miscroscopic World by Department of Chemistry

Science Workshop, Demonstration and Guided Tour/Laboratory Visit Date: October 18, 2023/ March 6, 2024 Time: 3pm - 4:30pm Venue: Chong Yuet Ming Chemistry Building, HKU Main Campus Language: English Capacity: 30 Nanotechnology is at the frontier of chemistry, biology, biophysics, materials science, and engineering. Electronics, energy, construction, medicine, agriculture, consumer products, and even fashion all benefit from nanoscale innovations. In this hands-on workshop, we will synthesize some nanomaterials and characterize them under an electronic microscope. So get ready and dive into the microscopic world.
