Professor Yuan welcomed the students with a guided tour of the laboratory, where they got a closer look at scientific instruments such as the superconducting magnet and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. He explained how these systems play a vital role in conducting and optical research under extreme conditions.

Later, they were fascinated by the “liquid nitrogen ice cream” experiment, which offered a fun and hands-on way to explore the wonders of low-temperature physics.
The event expanded the students' perspectives and introduced them to the elegance of scientific discovery.
