The 27^th Science Picnic of the Polish Radio and the Copernicus Science Center turned PGE Narodowy into a hub of wonder and discovery, captivating audiences with its theme ​“Unbelievable.”

The theme highlighted the extraordinary power of scientific reasoning over sensory perceptions, celebrating how science continually redefines what we consider possible.

From Copernicus’s heliocentric theory to modern-day marvels, the event inspired attendees to dream big, reminding us that today’s impossibilities are tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

Among the many fascinating presentations, one particularly memorable moment was delivered by our dynamic team.

The presentation titled
​“Photocatalytic Degradation of Food Colorings Activated by Ultraviolet Light”
by our group led by Professor Dr. Juan Carlos Colmenares and members Dr. Dariusz Łomot and Ms. Behdokht Hashemi Hosseini, Dr. Abdul Qayyum, Dr. Ahmed Malek Djaballah and Ms. Maya Nobatova fascinated both children and adults. 

With a vibrant display of colors and chemistry, our team demonstrated the magical transformation of food dyes under UV light. Using a photocatalyst, they showed how common food.
 

The participants were not just spectators; they actively engaged in the experiment and enjoyed the magic of chemistry, proving that chemistry can be both educational and enchanting.
