Ateneo student builds chemical purity tester from LEGO
The Ateneo de Manila University Department of Physics’ Photonics Laboratory’s polarimeter setup, built mostly out of LEGO toy bricks, polarizing film, and cheap off-the-shelf electrical components. Using simple circuitry, polarizing film, and LEGO toy bricks, an Ateneo de Manila University undergraduate physics student recently built an improvised polarimeter that can optically assess the purity of…
