Göschwitz: Don’t miss this chance to see a miniature version of the Mars rover and learn more about our expertise in optics. After all, our lenses are helping “Percy” on its mission on Mars!

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.

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

Our modern world is built on materials. Every product is only as good as the material it's made of.

What do we feel—and why? How do fear, stress, or hope influence our thoughts and actions, especially during challenging times?

A Look Inside the Manufacturing Technology Lab

Greenhouse gas measurements across Europe—how do you get accurate results? How are air samples collected? Where are our monitoring stations located? You’ll find the answers to these questions at the ICOS lab!

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—one of the most important imaging techniques—why does a scan take so long? Where do the noises come from? How strong is the static magnetic field?

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.

Collection items, forest maps, museum inventories: Experience firsthand how we’re using AI to digitally catalog Thuringia’s cultural treasures. And beneath the ThULB, the Fürstenkeller—dating back to 1532—awaits exploration—one of the largest vaulted cellars in Germany.

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!

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.

What holds the world together at its very core? To use ores, water, and energy resources sustainably over the long term, we need to understand exactly that. What is the Earth made of, and how was it formed? What processes take place within and on its surface? How do we know this?

The exhibition “Images of Science” features fascinating research images from the EAH Jena that are not only scientifically compelling but also aesthetically inspiring.

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