Jewelry Charm Danger – Find the Lead!
Bruker Corporation
Find the Lead in children’s jewelry. Lead has historically been used in jewelry to solder pieces together, to increase weight, to brighten colors, and even to stabilize or soften plastic. Select one of the charms available to see if you can determine which is safe and which is dangerous. Our CTX Analyzer will help you know if you’re correct!

Hit the 50/50 – Particle Sizing Challenge
Q.ANT GmbH
Create an exact bi-modal distribution of particle size fractions from two sample powders. Particles with known, but different diameters and densities. Use a spatula to take small amounts from each powder, mix in a small vessel provided. Guesstimate, by hand, no scales or other measurement devices. Use the Q.ANT Particle Sensor to verify that you have created a 50/50 (Vol%) mix with a bi-modal distribution. Participants who come closest to 50/50 win the prize.
