The booth will feature a specially developed laser setup that simulates radiation effects on microchips. In addition, exposed chips can be viewed under a microscope.

What might current concepts and technologies for local supply look like? During hourly lab tours, we showcase digital applications, smart store technologies, and research approaches at the Local Supply Real-World Lab.

Which photos are real, and which are AI-generated? Submit your guess, get advice—from a person or a machine—and make a new decision. With live results: How is the audience doing, and whose advice carries more weight?

Experience the Future of Physical Therapy with ICAROS

A tray with a glass of water should be kept level. A microcontroller issues a warning if the tray tilts, using two approaches: classically programmed versus trained using sample data. In doing so, we examine the question of when we can refer to it as “AI.”

Using a fluid-flow heart-and-vein model, we’ll show you how modern implants can repair heart defects without major surgery. The highlight: Step into the role of the clinician yourself and insert mini-umbrellas into 3D-printed heart models!

Are you looking for book recommendations? Are you interested in new voices from our neighboring Slavic countries? Come join us at our literary salon, where new releases from Poland and the Czech Republic are presented every hour on the hour.

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.

This VR exhibition offers an interactive experience of the role of money in the life of the Apostle Paul. Avatars, 3D models of ancient coins, and replicas you can hold in your hands combine digital and real-world experiences and provide insight into numismatics.

Anyone who knows the Bible even a little bit has a clear advantage in art history.
