Odpolední a sobotní program pak vzaly útokem rodiny s&nbsp;malými i odrostlejšími dětmi. Právě děti si hodně užívaly přítomnosti několika rozpohybovaných robotů nebo možnosti přiložit si na ruku pakobylku nebo krásného velkého brouka roháče. S&nbsp;radostí plnily kvízy a řešily hlavolamy, některé dokonce neváhaly soutěžit v&nbsp;množství kliků (nikoli na počítači) a skoků. Odměnou jim byly nejen sladkosti a propagační předměty vědeckých ústavů a univerzit, ale především zážitky a radost z&nbsp;poznání.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/AVCR_Jubilejni_10_rocnik_Veletrhu_vedy_prilakal_desetitisice_navstevniku_6_338d1ca29f.jpg" alt="AVČR/Romana Kovácsová: Jubilejní 10. ročník Veletrhu vědy přilákal desetitisíce návštěvníků" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_AVCR_Jubilejni_10_rocnik_Veletrhu_vedy_prilakal_desetitisice_navstevniku_6_338d1ca29f.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="1200" height="800">Bohaté aktivity by nebyly možné bez obětavé práce vědců a vědkyň, kteří se nad rámec své práce po celé tři dny věnovali dětem i všem ostatním návštěvníkům. „Jubilejní ročník Veletrhu vědy by se neobešel bez nesmírného zápalu všech vystavovatelů z ústavů Akademie věd ČR i ostatních zapojených institucí, ani bez podpory vedení Akademie věd ČR a partnerů, kterým bych tímto ráda poděkovala,“ vyzdvihla Kateřina Sobotková, ředitelka Divize vnějších vztahů Střediska společných činností AV ČR, instituce, která má organizaci Veletrhu vědy na starosti. „Děkujeme, že pomáháte budovat most mezi vědou a veřejností a těším se na společné setkání se všemi příznivci vědy na příštím ročníku,“ dodala.<blockquote><h4>Video: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ewONliN-w&amp;t=2s">Veletrh vědy 2026 – Jak vypadal první den?&nbsp;</a></h4></blockquote><h5>Nové technologie i příroda&nbsp;</h5>Na své si letos opět přišli i fanoušci nových technologií – obdivovali nejnovější 3D tiskárny nebo se za pomoci virtuální reality přiblížili k&nbsp;jadernému reaktoru.

<h5>By attending this webinar, you will learn about:</h5><ul><li>The most common causes of unplanned downtime and inconsistent results, and what you can do to reduce this unplanned downtime.</li><li>New sample introduction components for ICP-OES that improve analytical performance and reduce blockages when analyzing challenging sample matrices.</li><li>Essential operational tips and guidelines that can help you improve the performance of your ICP-OES when analyzing challenging sample matrices.</li></ul><h5>Event Overview</h5>Improving efficiency in routine analyses in your lab is crucial and should be a priority for any lab. Running challenging sample matrices using the ICP-OES technique poses many challenges for your analysts. They risk unplanned downtime from potential nebulizer or injector blockage, or other sample related issues. This sacrifices your sample throughput as your analysts need to first solve the issues – and then re-run samples where the results have been impacted by the loss of sensitivity from the partial or complete blockage. Challenging sample matrices can also increase your cost of ownership as components that wear need more frequent replacement.In this webinar, we'll provide an overview of some new sample introduction components that remove those pain points around running challenging sample matrices by ICP-OES efficiently. We’ll highlight the unique design features that enhance the total dissolved solid and particle handling capabilities, reducing the risk of nebulizer and injector blockage.We’ll demonstrate the capabilities of this robust sample introduction system with two challenging sample matrices, including used lubricating oils, where carbon build-up and larger wear metal particles can create a blockage risk. The second matrix is “black mass” – the material created when lithium-ion batteries are shredded and processed in battery recycling facilities. This complex mixture includes high concentrations of valuable minerals including lithium, which can cause rapid and premature degradation of the injector, combined with insoluble suspended carbon particles, which can also create a blockage risk.<h5>Who Should Attend:</h5>This webinar is recommended for any analyst or lab manager looking to improve efficiency and reduce downtime in their routine analysis workflows when running challenging sample matrices with their ICP-OES analyses, by utilizing a robust sample introduction system.<blockquote>Presenter: James Dellis (ICP-OES Supplies Product Manager, Agilent, Melbourne, Australia)James graduated from Swinburne University of Technology with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Chemistry and Biochemistry.
