November 2023

We welcomed physics students from Ole Vig upper secondary school. These 17 years old students were visiting NTNU to get more knowledge and hopefully trigger their interest in physics. Our PhD candidate Bjørnulf Brekke gave an inspirational scientific talk on "Jakten på fremtidens materialer". His pedagogics skills were as always very welcomed by the audience. Maybe we will see some of these students at our campus in the future?

We are participating at the upcoming Researchers Night 2023 with visit to our lab. Associate Professor Hendrik Bentmann and his team are inviting students to our ARPES lab.

Title: Kom og se hvordan vi jobber med kvantefysikk i lab’en vår på QuSpin. Der forsker vi på hvordan elektroner oppfører seg i nye materialer eller superledere gjennom å se på dette i mikroskop. Dette er viktig i utviklingen av nye energieffektive løsninger for et «grønnere» samfunn.

We are participating at the upcoming Researchers Night 2021 with visit to our lab.

One key goal is to make our center and physics attractive for young students, to be enticed by and recruited into a rewarding academic carrier. 

One new avenue of outreach was during the annual NTNU Researcher’s Night through a lecture called “Flying Super- conductors and the Quantum Revolution".  In bringing actual flying superconductors, a very real-world example of what physics can do was a clear way to educate through an exciting medium. This idea of ‘edutainment’ is one employed by some of the world’s preeminent science educators and is something QuSpin hopes to harness. This particular lecture was part of the People’s Program portion of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) in the European Union.

The lecture was held by our PhD candidates Even Thingstad and Fredrik Nicolai Krogh.
