Nanoworld on the Palm (video from the Department of Solid State Physics)

20.07.2022 | 19:57

A scanning electron microscope is a window into the micro and nano world of solid objects. Images in high magnification fascinate with their uniqueness and beauty. The unique opportunity to see a micro-object, photograph it and determine its elemental composition is beyond the power of other methods.
Roman Serkiz, the head of the laboratory of physics and technology of nanostructures of the solid state physics department of the physics faculty of Ivan Franko Lviv National University, introduces you to the modern...

New phenomena, materials, technologies (video from the Department of Metal Physics)

01.07.2022 | 09:21

The creation of new materials and technologies for their production always led to the appearance of new mechanisms and machines that significantly changed the life of mankind and determined the general level of its development. This difficult work is closely related to many sciences, which were also developed and created at the same time, but the central place among them was always occupied by physics. In this video, an attempt is made, using simple examples, to show how a successful...

The charm of radiation sources (video from the Department of Experimental Physics)

17.06.2022 | 14:19

Is light a wave or a particle? The combination of these features of light has allowed us to create new sources of radiation that we use in everyday life. By analyzing the emission spectra of incandescent, fluorescent and LED lamps, you will make the optimal choice of light sources. We tell:

What components can white light consist of?
How to visualize these components?
What is a diffraction grating?

Embark on this journey with Andriy Zyshkovych, a researcher at the Department of Experimental Physics, Faculty...
