Wonder World of Materials? is newly opened gallery at Regional Science City, Lucknow in which one can get information about the different kind of materials. The ?Wonder World of Materials? gallery portrays different fascinating aspects of Material Science namely: fundamentals of material science, polymers and plastics, electronic material, semiconductors and superconducting materials, sensors, world of nanotechnology, structural materials, industrial materials, optics, surface and cold chemistry, explosive materials, functional materials etc. It also showcases how the material science has progressed over the years from ancient era to modern times. It addresses issues like what are natural and manmade materials and how they are classified? Such is the fascinating story of materials that ages also it was discovered that clay could be fired to make pots and this discovery was revolutionary; so was the more recent discovery that clay also contains the substance that runs our computers.

Our sensory organs help them in providing the necessary information of the world. The bright, colourful exhibits of the gallery make the perception of the world an enjoyable process.

Fluidics

Fluids do not mean just liquids. They include anything that flows. Fluids are life-giving, life-sustaining elements of the Universe. Solid matter constitutes just a tiny part of whole world whereas the rest is occupied by fluids. The gallery on ?Fluidics? depicts interesting properties of air, water, oils and other fluids that we commonly deal with. Several experiences in our daily life are explained here with the demonstrative three-dimensional exhibits.

Popular Science

The Popular Science Hall of the Centre houses several exhibits which provide not only education but also entertainment. Stand in front of the curved mirrors and see yourself taller or shorter than actual. See how a straight rod passes easily through a curved and twisted hyperbolic path. Get into a Kaleidoscope and count your images. See an infinite tunnel of glowing bulbs in the limited space of the hall.
