WISE-LLE and CMAP Featured at RMSC Eclipse Festival

The Laboratory for Laser Energetics’ Women in Science and Engineering (WISE-LLE) group had a wonderful time collaborating with the Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP) at the Rochester Museum and Science Center Eclipse Festival Weekend this past April. The event was held in celebration of the once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse that passed through Rochester on April 8, 2024. The three-day event, featuring booths from various universities and organizations in the greater Rochester area, attracted thousands of visitors and community members who attended the event and interacted with the activities and displays at the booth. Volunteers performed hands-on demonstrations aimed at explaining the basic principles of laser fusion and high-pressure science. Stay tuned for the next outreach opportunity!
