Otto Schott (1851–1935) shaped modern glass research like few others. This lecture highlights his groundbreaking innovations, the establishment of the Jena Glassworks, and his social commitment, which continues to have an impact to this day.
From Invisible Electrons to Visible Models: This lecture shows how computers make the world of atoms and molecules computable, predict chemical properties, and help us better understand nature.
