A once in a year opportunity for all the students, science & technology enthusiasts, and the public to visit the Institute and explore the exciting science and technology initiatives and activities in the departments.

The Open Day 2026 at IAP will feature experimental demos, poster presentations, fun activities and exhibitions.

Experiments and Demos

Showcase of Point-of-care (POC) in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) technologies.

Our presentation demonstrates the fundamental working principles of super-resolution microscopy and its advanced techniques beyond the diffraction limit of conventional optical microscopy. We will explain how fluorescence enables high-precision imaging at the nanoscale and discuss key applications in biological and material sciences.

As part of the live demonstration, we will use a small laser pointer and a fluorescent dye solution to visually illustrate how fluorescence works, including excitation and emission processes. This hands-on demo will help the audience understand the physical principles behind super-resolution imaging in a simple and intuitive way.

Photoaccoustics and its applications

Fabricated structure on a flexible substrate whose optical properties can be tune by external mechanical pressure

Colloidal quantum dots are solution-processed semiconductor nanocrystals with size-tunable optical properties, widely used to create vibrant displays (QLEDs) and efficient solar cells. In quantum technologies, they are particularly valued as scalable, high-purity single-photon sources for secure quantum cryptography.

The Magic of One-Atom-Thick Materials
Our lab works on graphene and other 2D materials — materials that are just one atom thick, yet stronger than steel and capable of carrying electricity in extraordinary ways.
To make this fascinating science easy and fun to understand, we present the following live demonstrations:
1- From bulk crystal to 2D layer: a card stack model
2- The mechanical exfoliation by scotch tape
3- Twisting layers: The magic of moiré patterns
4 – Poster – We will present a poster to give basic knowledge of our lab work to students and public. They will learn the following things,
(a) What are the 2D materials
(b) Why graphene is special
(c) How twisting changes materials properties
(d) How simple ideas can lead to groundbreaking physics.
5 – Plasma ball

In this demonstration, electromagnetic levitation of thin metallic plate is carried by means of a pancake coil carrying AC current.

This is the start-up for cleaning water anywhere and anytime.

FBG sensors are made on an optical fiber cable and hence work using light signal only which makes it immune to any kind of electromagnetic disturbance from the surrounding. Our lab group is focused on making many kinds of FBG sensors to detect various physical, chemical and biological parameters. We will be demonstrating a FBG sensor designed by our lab specifically to detect underwater acoustic signals which can be collected by our high-resolution Interrogation System and display the output in a computer.

Quantum eraser using Mach-Zender interferometer

It trains you to build and understand real quantum technologies — computers, secure communication systems, and advanced quantum devices.

The Tesla Coil generates high-frequency, high-voltage electricity using resonance, producing visible arcs and demonstrating wireless power transfer.
The Lie Detector (Polygraph concept) measures physiological signals like heart rate and skin resistance. When a person experiences stress, these signals change, and the system displays the variation in real time using sensors and a microcontroller.
