<p>Bengaluru: Marking the discovery of the Raman Effect, the Raman Research Institute (RRI) hosted an Open Day on Friday, drawing over 1,800 science enthusiasts, including students and researchers.</p>.<p>The event featured science demonstrations, lectures, and exhibitions showcasing cutting-edge research.</p>.<p>Visitors explored a range of scientific concepts, from light matter interaction experiments in the 'Dark Room' by the Light and Matter Physics Group to astronomy and astrophysics demonstrations.</p>.<p>Amit Baganali, a PhD scholar at RRI, presented an "ion trap" experiment using lasers, explaining its potential in developing advanced technologies.</p>.<p>The Raman Effect was also demonstrated to provide a clearer understanding of its principles.</p>.Bengaluru institutions to host open days for National Science Day .<p>A major attraction was an AI-driven music experiment where facial signals controlled a piano, demonstrated by PhD scholar J Sanskar from the Electronics and Engineering Group.</p>.<p>The Astronomy and Astrophysics group’s stalls featured the Brachistochrone problem, prompting students to think about motion in astronomical studies, along with models of telescopes used in radio, X-ray, and optical astronomy.</p>.<p>Naman Jain, an eighth-grade student, was excited about the event, saying, “This is not what we learn in class. I got to know about DNA specification, the Brazil-nut effect, and how to identify bacteria using a microscope.”</p>.<p>Students also engaged in “Meet a Scientist” sessions with experts, including soft condensed matter physicist Arun Roy, astrophysicist Shiv Shetty, and light-matter physics scholar Urbasi Sinha.</p>.<p>Professor Sadiq Rangwala of the Light and Matter Physics Group stressed the importance of such events, stating, “The smallest spark can be the first step on a long scientific journey.”</p>
