How to win a Nobel prize by using adhesive tape and at the same time create a new scientific discipline? Why to levitate a frog? How to talk about your research and also enjoy it? Why is it important to have ideas out of the box? And what all of this has in common with the graphene? Professor Andrzej Wysmołek from Faculty of Physics of University of Warsaw will answer all of these questions.

Andrzej Wysmołek is an associate professor in the Institute of Experimental Physics at the University of Warsaw. Optical properties of condensed matter are his main research interest. He is passionate about trying science by putting it into practice. If you check up on him while he is lecturing you may find him spinning on a special chair to demonstrate a moment of inertia or inhaling helium to demonstrate differences in the speed of sound. He has been conducting research on graphene since 2006.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
