Examples of the Labs to Explore
1) Reintroduction to your first scientific tool: Light microscopy
2) Why is the sky blue?: Scattering and diffraction (1d & 2d) from the materials
3) Demonstration of phase transitions, nucleation and growth: Breath figures, a model system for chemical vapor deposition
4) Liquid crystals and LCD: A soft condensed matter system displaying a variety of defects, phase transitions, and morphologies
5) Polymer crystallization
6) Photonics in nature and structural colors: Butterfly wing scales using reflection microscopy
