Hundreds of people has visited the PhotonLab booth during the 10th researchers' night held in Turin during the last Friday. The booth called "Occhio al Fotone" allowed kids and adults to play with light so as to learn some of the "superpowers" of light. Kids of all ages played with plastic optical fibers trying to transmit words and messages with light, and at the same time they learned the basic principles of optical fiber communications. 

The OptCom group has just successfully handled the local coordination of FOTONICA 2015, the Italian National Conference on Photonic Technologies, that took place in Turin from May 6th to 8th.
