Celebrate together with the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light & the Zukunftsmuseum | Deutsches Museum Nürnberg the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) and join our various programm for everyone interested in science at “The Day of Light”.

Part 1: City Center Erlangen | Hugenottenplatz
 

Science tent at Hugo – 12.00 to 16.00

run by scientists from MPL and the Zukunftsmuseum 

Dancing with Photons: Quantum Transitions in Action
Smaller than a millionth of a millimetre – how can you make that visible?
Single ion you can touch
How much tea is in your iced tea? The photometer will tell you
"Out of the box" –  Experience linearly polarized light
Who's who: Telescope and microscope

Find out and perform some experiments yourself together with our scientists from the MPL and the Zukunftsmuseum.
