This is the story of a scientist who, after years of extensive research at CERN, finally unlocked the secret to throwing the most fantastic scientific parties. A friend has asked them to organise a party today, and there’s still a lot to do. With your help, they’ll have to put their scientific knowledge to the test.

This science show explores the beauty of science and scientific processes through the fascinating world of phase transitions and colour changes.

Unbelievable! Ground-breaking! Mind-blowing! Modern scientific discoveries and technological developments are changing our lives all the time. Are you interested in levitation? Maybe quantum effects? Or perhaps you only wish to see how cryogenics work? Join us and explore the new frontiers in science!
