As part of its mission to contribute to the widespread dissemination of science, enable younger generations to discover their potential, and promote interactive and accessible science and technology, the Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) regularly hosts special events for middle and high school students. Most recently, students from Prof. Dr. Aziz Sancar Science High School had the opportunity to engage with the world of science.
On Monday, January 8 and Wednesday, January 10, 2024, 45 students from Prof. Dr. Aziz Sancar Science High School were hosted at UNAM by Dr. Ayça Arslan Ergül, Dr. Sezin Galioğlu Özaltuğ and their team of UNAM researchers. The students toured the advanced facilities of UNAM, observed the clean rooms, and had the chance to examine specimens with an optical microscope. Additionally, they gained insights into nanomaterial synthesis, the use of nanoporous materials in nanotechnology, and information about lasers.
