Light experiments during the Science Show at OIST Science Festival 2025

Two photos from the Science Show. Left: An upside-down water dispenser bottle is filled with blue fire, dramatically spewing out a long flame at the top against a pitch-black backdrop. Right: The face of researcher Jack Featherstone is lit up with a bright orange flame held in the palm of his extended right hand without burning him, his left hand holding a long lighter.
