PI Dr. Yesilbas was invited in the ForskarFredag event that held on the Curiosum Centre at Umeå.

Have you ever wondered why the planets like Mars or a dwarf planet like Ceres has dark streaks and sometimes spheres on the surface? We have an answer: salts.

We prepared several salt mixtures to see if we could find out the similar shapes like on Mars or Ceres. We observed very cool structures!

Thanks to all who joined me during this event! Sharing the curiosity and wonder for science is such an awesome experience.

ForskarFredag is one of the events organised under European Researchers’ Night 2022 in Sweden program. PI Dr. Yesilbas also took place in Låna en Forskare Program in the series of this public outreach events.
