ALT A high resolution of a crystalline material, showing a regular lattice of atoms. Deviations from the regular pattern are defects that often produce unusual material properties.
ALT 3 pupils listening to information about gravity and working with a drum with grid lines which stretch when various weighted balls are placed at the centre of the drum.
ALT A drum with black and white grid lines illustrating gravity. Pupils hands are placed in the centre of the drum.
ALT Illustration showing two black holes merging and creating ripples in the fabric of spacetime. Some galaxies are visible in the backrgound as well as a red triangle, meant to represent the position of the three LISA spacecraft and the laser beams that will travel between them.
