Long Night of Science on July 2, 2022 from 5 p.m. to midnight
Program of the Physics Department
Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften - Physik - 2019
We open our doors to the general public and invite all those interested in science to our lecture halls and laboratories. We offer a versatile program for young and old and provide insights into our work, research and teaching.
Program in German and partially in English
Our scientific teams comprises people from around the globe. On your tour through our department, you will experience a spirit of international teamwork and can have scientific conversations, eighter in German or English.
The world of physics: artificial photosynthesis, climate research and aerosols
We would like not only to present our research fields but also to show why research in the natural sciences provides the impetus for numerous new areas of application - energy technology, climate research, medical applications or nanotechnology.
Inspiration for the future
We invite all who want to become a part of our physics crew as a student or a scientist, to visit us and be inspired.
Only Some Points of Our Program
Expriments & Projects
Artificial photosynthesis could open up a new way to phase out fossil fuels. With the help of a demonstration plant for solar-driven hydrogen formation, we explain and illustrate this still visionary technology.

Studierende stellen ihre Ideen zur Entwicklung einer CO2-Fixierungstechnologie auf der Grundlage photosynthetischer Organismen dar. Dabei nutzen sie einen schnell wachsenden Wasserfarn, der bereits vor 49 Mio. Jahren schon einmal die Durchschnittstemperatur der Erde reduzieren konnte.
Erfahren Sie mehr über unsere Methode für den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel.
Laser im Physiklabor
If people are talking in a room, the window panes partially absorb the sound and thus resonate. The extremely small deflections of the pane can be measured using laser beams. This method can be used not only to make sound waves visible, but also to determine mechanical material properties.
Location: Upper floor, tract 3
Kampfrath's Lab
Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften - Physik - 2019
We deal with the theory of kinetics of biological soft matter systems and resort to the topic of randomness for this purpose.
In addition to experiments on probability distributions, we offer interactive virtual reality experiments on random motion using the diffusion of molecules as an example.
Location: Room 1.2.30

What do natural sciences in general and physics in particular have to do with gender? Test your knowledge in the interactive Science Quiz!
The quiz takes place continuously between 6 and 10 p.m., duration: approx. 5 minutes.
Location: upper floor in front of seminar room E1
Contact: Dr. Tanja Kubes
2020
The students' union FSI offers exciting discussions about the subject and the study of physics.
Location: in front of lecture hall A
Lab Tours
Juniorprofessor Jan Behrends im Labor

Many building blocks of our matter have a magnetic moment, so they interact with magnetic fields. We will show you how we use microwave radiation and very strong magnetic fields to study solar cells and proteins to understand how they work at the molecular level.
Times: 6:45 p.m., 7:45 p.m., 8:45 p.m., 9:45 p.m., 10:45 p.m
Location: room 0.4.42
Prof. Kuch's Lab
Find out how hard disks store information, what new concepts there are for magnetic data storage and what role atomically thin magnetic layers play in this. Observe how these can be explored in ultra-high vacuum using laser beams and how their magnetic properties can be improved.
Location: Room 1.2.30
Spectroscopic and microscopic methods can be used to study biological molecules and macromolecules for their physical properties, such as the ability to transmit information.
We provide insights into current biophysical measurement and analysis methods.
Laboratory tours hourly from 6 to 10 p.m. from room 1.1.25

We explore the fundamentals of photosynthesis at the molecular level. We will guide you through our laboratories and show you how proteins are extracted from microorganisms (e.g. cyanobacteria), modified and used in research.
Lab tours every hour at 6:45, 7:45, 8:45, 9:45 and 10:45 pm
Pick up for the tours in room 1.1.25

SFBs
Collaborative research centers present an exposition of scientific projects and show exciting findings.
SFB 1078 - Proteinfunktion durch Protonierungsdynamik
In deciphering the functioning of proteins, the nanomachines of our body, the movement of hydrogen ions (protons) plays a significant role.
We explain the theory and show you, through some experiments, the properties of protons and our methods of analysis that allow to uncover the secrets of our proteins.
Location: Room 1.1.25

Spintronics refers to a new form of information processing based not on the charge but on the magnetic moment ("spin") of electrons.
The Collaborative Research Center/TRR 227 "Ultrafast Spin Dynamics" investigates the physical basis for this on the shortest time scales, as we will show you in demonstration experiments.
Location: seminar room E2 (1.1.53)
Collaborative Research Centres, or CRC, are long-term university-based research institutions established for up to 12 years in which researchers work together within a multidisciplinary research programme.
Science Slam at 8 pm
Science Slam
Physics as exciting and funny as you have never experienced it before!
Scientists present their research topics with charm and wit. They come directly from the computer screen or the laboratory to the stage to fascinate you. Who will convince you the most, who will win your heart?
Location: Large Lecture Hall (room 0.3.12)
Grill am FB Physik
"Physicists' Inn"
Large barbecue and cake stand with drinks. Good mood guaranteed!
Location: Courtyard at Arnimallee 14
