We also visited the Superconductivity Laboratory, where the students conducted several experiments on liquid nitrogen and tested the behaviour of superconductors in a magnetic field.

Later we went to the Nuclear Fusion Laboratory, where they got acquainted with the principle of plasma foccusing and learned about the construction and operation of a plasma focusing apparatus. We also had the opportunity to see the apparatus.
