What happens to marshmallows when a vacuum is created under the dome? These children got a chance to find out.
Can you imagine a village in 2030? The local "Fête de la Science" was the perfect place to do so this past weekend. Berre l'Etang, a village about 50 km from °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ, practiced the exercise by proposing to travel in time and discover what new technologies will be part of our lives in the future. °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ was there to represent fusion!
 
"The Village of the Future" hosted 150 organizations and 90 displays with hands-on experiments were proposed to students and the general public. The small °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ laboratory was a popular stop—visitors had the chance to see how a magnetic field is generated, to discover the principles of vacuum, and even to produce plasma into a microwave.
