Lead white paint is of particular interest. It is made by exposing metallic lead to acetic acid and exposing it to the heat and carbon dioxide from horse manure! The corrosion on the lead is then crushed to turn to paint. XMaS Beamline European Synchrotron Warwick Physics

Love how Leonardo da Vinci understood the scattering of light that causes the sky to be blue and was careful to capture this in his paintings! Also love how you can be a physicist and an artist! XMaS Beamline European Synchrotron Warwick Physics

Cultural Heritage is a big part of the work done at ESRF XMaS Beamline European Synchrotron Warwick Physics

Lunchtime offers a chance for the students to sit with some of the inspirational female scientists here at ESRF and ask any questions they have about their careers and research. #WomenInSTEM #inspirational #Physics

Mara and Grace present their experimental findings. Was the unknown storage medium a CD or DVD?

Honey, Annabel and Cosima present their investigation into luminescent materials

Enormous thanks to European Synchrotron synchrotron@ schools program and XMaS Beamline for a fabulous day doing science experiments in Grenoble

Group 3; Abi, Poppy and Sam present their investigation on how to keep a cyclist warm

Yesterday these students produced academic posters showing their research findings. European Synchrotron XMaS Beamline #WomenInSTEM Warwick Physics

And we’ve landed back in the UK! We hope you’ve had a fantastic trip young physicists! #WomenInSTEM European Synchrotron XMaS Beamline Warwick Physics
