Repeating the success of last year’s edition, also this year students from high school ‘Liceo Tito Livo’ in Milan have visited the Center for Nano Science and Technology – IIT CNST Milano, as part of their science project. This visit took place on February 20^th 2025.

Dr. Annamaria Petrozza, who is the CNST director and coordinator of PERSEPHONe project has introduced the research center and researchers present to the group of 26 students and 2 teachers.

This year demonstrations by the researchers variated from perovskite optoelectronic materials by PERSEPHONe ESR Yarong He, to edible electronics; to seeing how bacteria communicate and interact live on the microscope to ‘a selfie with the atoms’. The demonstrations have captivated the students' interest, sparking insightful discussions and a wave of thought-provoking questions. The students also enjoyed visiting Dr. Petrozza’s labs.

A nice coffee break over students and researchers’ chatter has followed to conclude the visit.
