Self-healing and shape-memory polymers as well as polymers as drug carriers are the focus of current research at the Center for Applied Research (ZAF), in which AI is playing an increasingly important role.

The generation and storage of electrical energy (electricity) and the production of "green hydrogen" are at the heart of the desired energy transition. We provide an insight into current research at CEEC Jena and HIPOLE in these areas.

From tablets to modern medicine with silk.

The video presentation "Micro Macro - Life Sciences in Jena" offers fascinating insights into the life sciences, shows projects from bacteria to humans and unites excellent research under the motto of the University of Jena "LIGHT, LIFE, LIBERTY".

Get to know the work of the ZEISS archive, test your skill at stacking files and write with pen and ink as Carl Zeiss did 170 years ago.

ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) is the driver of digitalization. Our technologies enable chip manufacturers worldwide to produce microchips for a wide range of applications.

Can you see a rainbow on a long night? We get to the bottom of this question and make the invisible visible. Light is broken down into spectral colors by an optical grid. But what secrets are waiting at the end of the rainbow?

For a century, the term "planetarium" has symbolized curiosity about the world around us. New planetarium systems are tested in our ZEISS Demo Dome before they can be installed in planetariums around the world.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of microscopy! Experience digital networking, artificial intelligence and interactive learning platforms. And take a look inside a battery with an X-ray microscope.

Find out about the current status of the construction project and take a look inside the future building now with the VR glasses.

Digitalization, Industry 4.0 and robotics are also finding their way into vocational and academic training at ZEISS. ZEISS trainees and students present the latest robot programming.

How phase contrasts make transparent cells visible

Optical systems - key components in the digital age

How is artificial intelligence integrated into products at ZEISS?

Insects are by far the most species-rich class of animals. They live in the most unusual habitats. But what makes them so successful? We introduce our research objects and report on their way of life and their contribution to research.
