SciTech Spins 4 Conference: Theme and speakers

The fourth online conference is titled “Unraveling Nature: From the Galaxies to the Quantum Realm”.

Scientists from IIT Delhi, Professor Suprit Singh, Professor Abhishek Muralidhar Iyer, and Professor Tarun Sharma from the Physics Department will explain to students the universe and its history.

What will the SciTech Spins 4 conference explore?

Questions like “Can electrons pass through walls?” What do atoms look like? Why does matter have mass? How can the sky be used as a laboratory? will be taken up by the speakers during the lecture divided into two parts.

In the first part entitled “A Brief History of the Universe: From the Big Bang to the Present”, Professor Suprit Singh will take students on a tour of the universe from its beginnings.

The second part, delivered by Profs Iyer and Sharma, will dive into the world of elementary particles.

Giving an overview of their conference, the team said: “One of the fundamental challenges of the human race is to understand nature in all of its manifestations. This includes objects as large as galaxies and stars to fundamental particles like electrons.

“Over the past several centuries our understanding has undergone a process of constant evolution. This conference will attempt to retrace the important steps in this progression and will ultimately lead to our understanding today, ”the team added.

What happened at the SciTech Spins 3 conference?

The 3^e The SciTech Spins conference titled “Materials that Matter” with Lab Demonstrations took place on November 20, 2021. It received an overwhelming response from attendees.

A class 8 student named Gauri Garg, who attended the third lecture, wrote a note to one of the professors after the lecture.

“I enjoyed this online session and want to thank you for making learning difficult concepts so easy, entertaining and engaging,” she wrote.
