To see the power in stones
“Power in stones, or secrets of energy resources from coal to uranium” – this event organized as part of the Energy Week and the celebrations of the European City of Science Katowice 2024 attracted many participants to the Silesian University of Technology.
The event was also connected with the Minerals Exchange at the Faculty of Mining, Safety Engineering and Industrial Automation. Many participants wanted to learn the secrets of energy resources and could observe them under a microscope.
-“ Practically everyone has already met with coal, so this time we wanted to show other energy raw materials, such as brown coal or less used peat, which in the old days served as fuel or building material. Everyone could see it under the microscope. I also prepared for them crude oil and minerals that contain radioactive elements.” - said the lecturer Dr Eng. Jacek Nowak.
The lecture was attended by Adam Terlikowski, who, together with two children Hania and Frank, are fans of the European City of Science Katowice 2024 and have already participated in many events related to this celebration, including Witches Week and Robots Week.
-“My children are very happy when we return from these activities. Thanks to the weeks of learning, the passion for learning about the world and science has developed very much in them. Anyway, we try to appear in many other great events offered by the Silesian University of Technology” – said Adam Terlikowski.
