ELI BEAMLINES BOOTH: EXTREME LIGHT FOR EXCELLENT SCIENCE

June 5–7, 2025 | Daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
A detailed description of activities at ELI Beamlines booth is available HERE.

Come to our booth to get answers to everything you want to know about lasers and the scientific mission of ELI!

Practical Tip #1: If you own a laser pointer, bring it with you to our booth! We’ll measure its power and check its safety. While laser pointers can be useful, they can also be very dangerous — especially for the eyes.

Practical Tip #2: Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, don’t forget to bring your sunglasses to the Science Fair! Using spectroscopy, we’ll test whether your sunglasses protect your eyes and block harmful UV radiation. We can also “shine a light” on glasses with blue light filters, which are commonly used for protection against light emitted by computer or smartphone screens.
