Interactive exhibition Superconductivity... magical attraction

Special opening from Tuesday, 13 January, to Saturday, 31 January 2009

Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2.00 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

Following the success at the end of last year, the exhibition "Superconductivity... magical attraction" will be extended until the end of January. The phenomenon of superconductivity was discovered a century ago. The properties of this amazing discovery are already being used in a variety of applications in such areas as medical imaging, energy transportation, storage, magnetic levitation and transportation, and electronics. Come and find out how superconductivity has been used for the magnets of CERN’s new accelerator, and test the feeling of levitation for yourself!
