Main location Heinrich-Plett-Strasse 40

On MatNat Day, the Day of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, there were show and taster lectures from mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and nanostructure sciences, laboratory tours on the latest research and hands-on experiments for young and old. Thematically, everything was covered from the art of mathematics to insights into matter and magic with chemistry.

The student council took care of the physical well-being with sandwiches and drinks.

Laboratory tours, show lectures, science slams

Physics lab tours
Guidedtour of the laser physics and thin-film physics labs with coating equipment and particle transport demonstration.
Lab tour
Algebra lab
In our lab you can see how you can calculate with colors - and what's really behind it and what it's good for. You'll be shown what kind of artwork you can create with polynomials, and you'll also get to take your own artwork home.
Chemistry lab tours
Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray structure analysis, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Lab tour
Animal Physiology: How do insects work?
Laboratory tour
The targeted assembly of microstructures
Guided tour of INA's laboratories. At INA, micro- and nanostructures are fabricated in a clean room and then characterized using a variety of methods. These structures have applications in a variety of fields, from quantum technology to biosensors.
Laboratory tour
Physical Chemistry of Nanomaterials
Physical Chemistry and Sustainability: Chemical clocks have long been a laboratory curiosity, but show how away from equilibrium processes can oscillate between multiple states. Renewable raw materials from the sea: We show what chemistry is in the cell wall of algae and how materials can be made from it.
Trial study
Lecture Experimental Physics
Trial study
Magic with chemistry  - Experimental lecture in which magic is performed with the help of chemistry
Who of us wouldn't like to be able to perform magic? Or take a train to a famous magic school instead of taking the bus to the regular school? With the help of chemical experiments, we manage to perform many a surprising and magical feat.
