What will tomorrow’s energy supply look like—and what aspects of it are already a reality in Jena today? The City of Jena’s exhibition “ENERGY—WHAT MOVES US” provides answers to these and other questions about the energy transition.

Would you like to know what a biobank for human biological samples is? Would you like to find out and have a go at how biobank samples are prepared and stored? Then come along and join in!

Y-Space is a research project aimed at developing a UAV carrier platform capable of briefly generating true microgravity (≤ 0.1 g, up to 10 seconds, 3 kg payload). The goal is to create a mobile, cost-effective alternative to parabolic flights.

Learn how general aviation is used as a flying weather observation network and how data science supports the maintenance and repair of aircraft engines through predictive maintenance.

We offer guided tours, hands-on activities, and interesting exhibits.

Can you defuse the bomb? The green light is the perfect way to tell if you've wired it correctly!

Learn how we use lasers to make new discoveries in dense forests.

In 1846, Carl Wilhelm Goettling founded the Archaeological Museum at the University of Jena. Donations and acquisitions have caused the collection to grow significantly over the decades. An anniversary exhibition traces its 180-year history through a selection of donated items.

Optics Balzers Jena GmbH – Harnessing Light with Optical Filters

Medical imaging techniques are the product of various scientific subdisciplines. The fundamentals of these subdisciplines and their applications are presented through numerous interactive experiments on optics and machine learning.

The generation and storage of electrical energy (electricity), the storage and utilization of carbon dioxide, and the production of “green hydrogen” are at the heart of the energy transition we are striving for. We provide an overview of current research.

A Look Back at the History of the Long Night of Science in Jena

Glass research and manufacturing, preform production, fiber drawing, fiber post-processing, characterization, and fiber applications—the Leibniz-IPHT Center of Excellence brings together the entire value chain for specialty optical fibers under one roof.

Human-Robot Interaction—Who Can Measure Faster and More Accurately?

Self-healing and shape-memory polymers, as well as polymers used as drug carriers, are the focus of current research, in which automation, digitalization, and AI are playing an increasingly important role.
