Spooky Physics Night is back! Join us for an evening of fun and excitement during the annual Halloween-themed Physics open house!

Bring your kids and friends to the Duff Center at Ole Miss on Friday, October 17 from 6:00-8:30 pm to learn about energy, electricity, magnetism, sound and waves, the physics of ultracold temperatures and more. But beware! Expect a hair-raising experience -- literally: we'll shoot enough electricity through your body to make your hair stand up -- and other ‘nefarious’ experiments involving a bed of nails, lasers, superconductors and electromagnets. All harmless activities, of course! The night will also include food and fun, a Halloween costume contest for children, and liquid nitrogen ice cream for everybody, ‘freshly’ made at -320 F degrees.

Demo shows will be held in the lecture halls on the bottom floor of the Duff Center. Additional demonstrations will be presented by students, staff, and faculty in the Department of Physics and Astronomy both in and outside the Duff Center.

Spooky Physics Night visitors may park in the University Circle, surrounding areas alongside, near Vaught Hemingway Stadium, or behind Turner Complex and the Intensive English building (just west of Turner), in the Pavilion garage or in the Tad Smith coliseum parking lot.
