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.

Perpetua mobilia? Inverted mirror images? They don't exist - or do they? How illusions work is sometimes not so easy to recognize. See for yourself!

Artistically crafted specimens and easy-to-understand models convey the fundamentals of anatomy and offer fascinating insights into the body’s inner workings. The historical significance of this 200-year-old collection can be experienced, for example, through Goethe’s intermaxillary specimens.

How are high-precision components made from modern materials? See firsthand how 5-axis CNC machines are used to manufacture complex free-form optical surfaces with the highest precision and to finish ceramic-printed watch components.

Send digital data securely using “magical” light particles, or create images out of thin air! Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF are developing state-of-the-art systems to protect our data and diagnose diseases using quantum technologies.

Series of posters with explanations

How are camera systems designed that can capture information from different distances without moving the lens?

Insects are by far the most species-rich class of animals. They inhabit the most unusual habitats. But what makes them so successful? We introduce the subjects of our research and discuss their lifestyles and their contribution to science.

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.

How can we learn about our Earth from space? In “Adventure in Space,” we introduce you to technologies that reach for the stars.

At the UKJ, we care not only about the health of our patients, but also about the well-being of the animals used in our experimental research

How do doctors identify tumor boundaries? Why do middle ear infections occur? And how do modern technologies help us better understand diseases?

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.

The heart is the engine of life—we'll show you how to keep it running on your own and how we can help you do that.
