Award-winning outstanding works
Fingertip Museum MuseuM's Speartail
Introduction:
This film tells the scientific story of the rediscovery of the speartail fish, the "treasure of the town hall" of the Shanghai Museum of Natural History. Speartail is the only species of total fin fish that has survived to this day, and it was previously thought to have become extinct 65 million years ago, but in 1938 South Africa accidentally discovered live speartail fish, which became one of the most important zoological discoveries of the 20th century.
Nano Self-Cleaning - Lotus Effect
Starting from the common natural phenomenon of water droplets falling on the surface of the lotus leaf but not being infiltrated, the micro-video simulates this phenomenon through small experiments of nano-self-cleaning agents, and vividly demonstrates the "lotus effect" principle and its application of nano-self-cleaning with animation. Subtly let the public understand the knowledge of nanotechnology and stimulate scientific interest.
