Paper, pencils, and research labs—at first glance, worlds that seem to have nothing to do with one another. But what if this very connection is the key to presenting science in a way that brings it to life?
In this special reading, we’ll show you that our comics are more than just entertainment. They’re a powerful tool for science communication—a visual language that conveys complex ideas from physics and research in a way that’s understandable, humorous, and memorable. We’ll take you on a journey through visual stories where abstract concepts suddenly become clear because they’re drawn, exaggerated, and pointed—and thus easy to grasp.
But it’s not just about listening and looking at the projected comic panels: while the projected comics tell the story, we bring them to life on stage with small, astonishing experiments in photonics and physics. What is drawn in the comic becomes visible in the room—light refracts, circuits glow, phenomena become tangible. This creates a dialogue between image and reality, between idea and experiment.
Afterward, we invite you to join the conversation: How is a science comic created? What’s on your mind? We’ll share insights into the creative and scientific work process and show how comics build bridges between the lab and the public.
Whether you’re a comic fan, a researcher, or just curious: Here you’ll experience what science communication can look like when it’s bold, thinks visually, and takes stories seriously. Perhaps you’ll leave not only with a smile, but also with a new idea—or the realization that the next great insight might begin in a single comic panel.
Let yourself be surprised by just how much fun physics can be—when it’s told through pictures and brought to life with experiments!
