OPEN DAY 2026
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

Optics and Micro-Fluidics Instrumentation
Showcase of Point-of-care (POC) in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) technologies and Spectro-Photometer. Play with Microscope.

Exploring Super-Resolution Microscopy: Principles, Fluorescence, and Advanced Applications
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.

Photoaccoustics and its applications

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

Colloidal Quantum Dots
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
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.

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

FBG Hydrophones
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.

Tesla coil, lie detector
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.

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