Phosphors


Phosphors of different colors excited by an unltraviolet light ("blacklight").


Visitors use viewer to see phosphors under ultraviolet light.


Amorphous Metal


Ball bearings dropped onto three different surfaces (titanium,maraging steel,
and amorphous metal from the same height.


A ball bearing bounces on the amorphous metal surface far longer than ontheother two surfaces.
