  • Giga-indentation
    Nano world made large. Here in the Giga-indentation exhibit we show what our materials are madeout of and what holds the building blocks called atoms together,...
  • Catalysis & Curious
    In this exhibit, we show how a chemical reaction works with the help of a simple marble run. For a chemical reaction to happen the reactants...
  • Moiré Wheel of Fortune
    Have you ever noticed beautiful wave patterns when stack multiple kitchen strainers or other types of mesh? Then you have already seen moiré patterns first hand. Here you will learn how we can create and measure such patterns at the atomic level in bilayer graphene.
  • Dimensionenduell
    Hallo Dimensions-Reisende!In der Wissenschaft untersuchen wir Dinge vom winzigkleinen, bis hin zum riesengroßen. Diese Größenordnungen sind so unvorstellbar zum Teil, dass wir uns schon gar nichts...
