Phosphorescence Workshop

Experiment with phosphorescent powder and laser lights. Make your own glow in the dark paper and activate it with laser light to create exciting patterns and images. Hear about the development of artist Melanie King’s new ‘Pulsar Oscilloscope’ which uses a phosphorescent spinning disk to visualise data captured during dark matter detection research.
Explore how phosphorescence works, and discover where it can be found in the natural world.
