Overview

Prepare to be wowed by the hidden world of chemical behaviour, where you can race chemical droplets against each other and uncover the secret of how to stop bubbles from bursting.

By exploring the world of surface tension and unlocking its energy, the seemingly impossible suddenly becomes possible. Can you help droplets explore the world around them? Can you defeat the temple of bubble doom and capture the idol? Can you make water go uphill? All this and more from the exciting world of droplet-based chemistry.

Dr Matthew Kitching brings the world of droplets alive with chemicals that are capable of moving entirely by themselves.

This event is part of our Summer Science Exhibition Lates evening.
