Matheroes: Supermaterials, els herois del futur
The exhibition of our Matheroes, the materials of the future, will be in the Library during all the month of February 2022. You can meet Photoenergy, Superconductor, Magnon, Electrowoman and Bionanocapsule and discover their properties: transform heat into electricity, levitate, create strong magnetic or electric fields and navigate inside the human body.
Visit the Matheroes website and play around with the Matheroes Virtual Escape (in Catalan or Spanish) to rescue our heroes from their enemies, while discovering materials science.
