On MatNat Day, the day of mathematics and natural sciences, there were show and taster lectures on 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
Guided tour of the laser physics and thin-film physics labs with coating systems 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. We show you what kind of artwork you can create with polynomials and you can also take your own work of art home with you.
Chemistry lab tours
Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray structure analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Laboratory tour
Animal physiology: How do insects work?
Laboratory tour
The targeted assembly of microstructures
Guided tour of the INA laboratories. At the INA, micro- and nanostructures are produced in the clean room and then characterized using a variety of methods. These structures are used 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 processes can oscillate between several states away from equilibrium. Renewable raw materials from the sea: We show what chemistry is contained in the cell wall of algae and how materials can be produced from it.
Taster course
Lecture in experimental physics
Taster course
Magic with chemistry - experimental lecture using chemistry to create magic
Who wouldn't want to be able to do magic? Or take the train to a famous magic school instead of the bus to a normal school? With the help of chemical experiments, we can achieve some surprising and magical feats.
