Matters of Activity at the Long Night of the Sciences

On the occasion of the Long Night of the Sciences on July 2nd, Berlin’s seven clusters of excellence presented themselves at the Humboldt Laboratory. As part of the »Meet the Scientist« series, researchers presented their outstanding research projects – in dialogue with the public. For »Matters of Activity«, from 7:30 to 8:00 pm, Regine Hengge and Wolfgang Schäffner talked about the »Active Curtain Project«, an ongoing experimental setup in the entrance area of the Humboldt Lab that interacts with the room climate. The event was in German.

Moreover, the »Cube of Physics« could be visited at the Institute of Physics in Adlershof. The expansive art installation and a lecture addressed, among other things, the question if the entire knowledge of physics be represented in a cube. The »Cube of Physics« of the Institute of Physics & IRIS Adlershof, was developed in cooperation with the Institute of Cultural Studies and the Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity«. From 6–7 pm, MoA member Matthias Staudacher gave a lecture about the actual state of the Cube.
