      Hey GuineaPigs,

      I am confident that we will make the flexible solar panels and screens because the light emitters are already working ! I know that some parts can work better, so that is what i’m working on now. I have a very curious mind, so if my whole physics lab was to explode tomorrow and I could no longer do any measurements I would find another job in science where I got to do different experiments. Anywhere with a few lasers and some happy, dancing molecules is enough for me!

      Hi Science is like that sometimes things dont work out so you look at what went wrong and learn from it It can be a bit frustrating esp when you have spent a long time setting it all up but you then have a group meeting and get some suggestions and start again – all good fun really

    It is quite normal for experiments not to do what you thing should. Really there is no such thing as a bad result, just results, so what ever you get is a result. In research if we knew the result we were going to get there is properly no need to do the experiment……………
