MoSeF participates in "Rome Maker Faire 2019"

MoSeF participates in the Maker Faire in Rome. At the CNR stand, building n°7, MoSeF will show the new exhibit "RoFlEx", a robotic exhibit intended as an attractive and effective tool for science communication. It is aimed at the demonstration and illustration of the fluorescence phenomenon and related processes through the execution of fully-automated or user-guided sets of experiments involving light and matter. To increase the didactic efficacy of the experience, the tested substances all derive from products in common use. The exhibit is controlled by moving a series of transparent cubes, allowing the selection either of single experiments (in this case the cube contains the product to be tested), or of the automatic full sequence of experiments, or the language of the explanatory slides accompanying the experiences. RoFlEx is also equipped with a chemical reactor to perform a fluorescence quenching experiment.
With financial support from Fondazione Banco di Napoli.

We look forward to seeing you at the Maker Faire!

MoSeF participates in "Rome Maker Faire 2018"

MoSeF presents the new version of the “Red Hot Pepper Machine” at the “Maker Faire - Rome 2018" - Fiera di Roma, building n° 5, October 12-14, 2018

MoSeF participates in the Maker Faire in Rome. At the CNR stand, building n°5, MoSeF will show the new version of the exhibit “The Red Hot Pepper Machine”, a functional model of the red hot chili pepper receptor (TRPV1), described in detail under the “Exhibits” section of the MoSeF website.
This exhibit represents an useful tool for teaching and for science communication per se. Moreover, as a paradigmatic example of a R&D activity aimed at the development of educational, informative and museum exhibits, it represents an application of robotics, mechanics and informatics particularly suitable for school projects and collaborations between school and research institutions.
We look forward to seeing you at the Maker Faire!
