Table set up for drawing with AIR-Ink, an ink created from the soot captured from the air during the pArty at the Museum.

Each soot particle is different. These are samples of what the atomic structure of soot particles would look like if we could see them. The 3D models are created based on our research findings of soot atomic structure.

Each soot particle is different. These are samples of what the atomic structure of soot particles would look like if we could see them. Look how their shadows are different, too. The shadows hold key to understand how much each particle will contribute to energy transport in the atmosphere.

Students look for holes in a balloon made of plastic bag. This is an aerocene - a concept concieved by Saraceno to show ideas for a sustainable future in fuel-less flight.

Testing of an aerocene - a balloon made from plastic bags. Under right conditions, this balloon will fly like a hot air balloon by simply using sunlight (without any solar panel) to heat the air inside.
