Odpolední a sobotní program pak vzaly útokem rodiny s&nbsp;malými i odrostlejšími dětmi. Právě děti si hodně užívaly přítomnosti několika rozpohybovaných robotů nebo možnosti přiložit si na ruku pakobylku nebo krásného velkého brouka roháče. S&nbsp;radostí plnily kvízy a řešily hlavolamy, některé dokonce neváhaly soutěžit v&nbsp;množství kliků (nikoli na počítači) a skoků. Odměnou jim byly nejen sladkosti a propagační předměty vědeckých ústavů a univerzit, ale především zážitky a radost z&nbsp;poznání.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/AVCR_Jubilejni_10_rocnik_Veletrhu_vedy_prilakal_desetitisice_navstevniku_6_338d1ca29f.jpg" alt="AVČR/Romana Kovácsová: Jubilejní 10. ročník Veletrhu vědy přilákal desetitisíce návštěvníků" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_AVCR_Jubilejni_10_rocnik_Veletrhu_vedy_prilakal_desetitisice_navstevniku_6_338d1ca29f.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="1200" height="800"></p><p>Bohaté aktivity by nebyly možné bez obětavé práce vědců a vědkyň, kteří se nad rámec své práce po celé tři dny věnovali dětem i všem ostatním návštěvníkům.<i> „Jubilejní ročník Veletrhu vědy by se neobešel bez nesmírného zápalu všech vystavovatelů z ústavů Akademie věd ČR i ostatních zapojených institucí, ani bez podpory vedení Akademie věd ČR a partnerů, kterým bych tímto ráda poděkovala,“ </i>vyzdvihla <strong>Kateřina Sobotková</strong>, <strong>ředitelka Divize vnějších vztahů Střediska společných činností AV ČR</strong>, instituce, která má organizaci Veletrhu vědy na starosti. <i>„Děkujeme, že pomáháte budovat most mezi vědou a veřejností a těším se na společné setkání se všemi příznivci vědy na příštím ročníku,“</i> dodala.</p><blockquote><h4><strong>Video: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ewONliN-w&amp;t=2s"><strong>Veletrh vědy 2026 – Jak vypadal první den?&nbsp;</strong></a></h4></blockquote><h5><strong>Nové technologie i příroda&nbsp;</strong></h5><p>Na své si letos opět přišli i fanoušci nových technologií – obdivovali nejnovější 3D tiskárny nebo se za pomoci virtuální reality přiblížili k&nbsp;jadernému reaktoru.

<p><strong>Správný odběr vzorků představuje jeden z nejdůležitějších kroků celého analytického procesu a významně ovlivňuje kvalitu i spolehlivost výsledků. Odborný kurz zaměřený na teorii i praxi vzorkování poskytne účastníkům komplexní přehled metod odběrů vzorků z různých prostředí – od ovzduší, vod, půd a sedimentů až po potraviny, odpady, průmyslové materiály či ropné produkty. Součástí programu jsou aktuální legislativní požadavky, normy, problematika nejistoty vzorkování i rozsáhlý praktický nácvik odběrů v terénu. Kurz je určen pracovníkům laboratoří, kontrolních orgánů, průmyslových podniků i všem odborníkům, kteří se zabývají odběrem a hodnocením vzorků.

<header><p><strong>The ongoing urbanization and progressive sealing of landscapes have exacerbated surface runoff, mobilizing pollutants such as Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and microplastics (MPs), including tire and road wear particles (TRWP). The effective removal of these pollutants is imperative to meet increasingly stringent water quality regulations. Sedimentation tanks, widely deployed for the treatment of urban runoff, are often insufficient in achieving the necessary pollutant retention efficiencies, especially for particles below 63 µm. Long-term monitoring of a sedimentation tank (mixed area with pollution categories I - III, as per DWA A-102-2) in Paderborn, Germany, verified that the actual retention efficiency for TSS63 (particles &lt; 63 µm) fell significantly below the theoretical benchmark of 49,3%%, required to meet pollution category I standards. The observed inefficiency suggests that tire wear particles, which are part of the TSS, are also insufficiently retained.</strong></p><p>To address these shortcomings, we propose a novel, cost-effective, and scalable solution in the form of a microflotation-based system. This innovative technology employs controlled microbubble generation (mean diameter:45 µm) to exploit the hydrophobic properties of microplastics, facilitating their efficient separation from water. This in-situ microflotation (ISM) technology can be easily retrofitted into existing stormwater retention basins.</p><p>In this context, the focus in the presentation shown within the webinar is on the assessment of the removal of tire wear particles (TWP) in existing stormwater sedimentation tanks using in-situ microflotation. Hereby, thermal extraction desorption - gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TGA TED-GC/MS) analysis was performed regarding the qualification and quantification of tire wear particles, as it is a state-of-the-art technology for this purpose.</p><p>Within the long-term monitoring of the sedimentation tank mentioned, TGA TED-GC/MS measurements show that tire wear retention efficiencies can be strongly increased by using microflotation.<br>Hence, the proposed system provides a benchmark for sustainable and efficient water treatment technologies, aligning with contemporary goals of resource efficiency and environmental protection.</p><h4><strong>Summary of contents</strong></h4><ul><li>Water treatment</li><li>Microplastic pollution</li><li>Qualification and quantification of tire wear particles were performed using TGA TED-GC/MS</li><li>Monitoring of sedimentation tank</li><li>Pilot-scale in-situ microflotation</li><li>Retention efficiency</li></ul><div><div data-advanced-option="false" data-has-preview-image="false" data-video-id="" data-component-id="2110920040"><div style="max-width:1px;width:100%;" id="mediaContainerWrapper_2110920040"><div style="height:1px;width:1px;" data-external-url="" id="mediaContainer_2110920040" data-advanced-option="false" data-width="1" data-height="1" data-video-id="">&nbsp;</div></div></div></div></header><div><div><div data-advanced-option="false" data-has-preview-image="false" data-video-id="" data-component-id="2110920040"><blockquote><div><strong>Presenter: </strong>Thomas Kramer (Product Manager Laboratory, Mettler-Toledo GmbH)</div></blockquote><blockquote><div><strong>Presenter: </strong>Dr. Mike Wenzel (Chemist for Microplastic Analysis, MicroBubbles GmbH)</div></blockquote><blockquote><div><strong>Presenter:</strong> Maikel Haferkamp (Application Specialist, GERSTEL GmbH &amp; Co.
