Try your hand at lie detector and making liquid crystal!

Techniques for studying the movement of the mind_Photographs Let's experience detecting the movement of the mind by measuring changes in electrical resistance of the skin caused by mental excitement and mental perspiration caused by stimuli from the outside world. There is also an experiment to create liquid crystals from plant-derived materials. Let's experience the beautiful structural color glow that liquid crystals give off.

The Biophysical Society of Japan

Demonstration, Biophysics

~Using physics and mathematics to understand how life works~.

Our body consists of about 60 trillion cells. Inside the cells, proteins work like tiny machines (molecular machines), each with its own role. Biophysics uses physics and mathematics to study the movement of proteins and cells. Biophysicists will demonstrate and explain how to watch, measure, manipulate, and simulate "movement.
