The new lecture series “Physics on Saturdays” starting on June 19 wants to introduce the general public to complex sci-entific topics. On four successive Saturdays, experts from the Department of Physics will expound and discuss the “Value and Visions of Nanophysics”.
On June 19, Dr. Regina Hoffmann-Vogel will speak on “Nanocon-tacts – Linking the Macroscopic World to the Quantum World”. Pro-fessor Gerd Ulrich Nienhaus will introduce his audience on June 26 to ultra-high resolution light microscopy by giving “Insights into the Nanoworld of the Living cell”. On July 3, Professor Ferdinand Evers will lecture on “Smaller than Nano: Chips from the Test Tube”. Fi-nally, on July 10, Professor Martin Wegener will expound “Metama-terials and Transformation Optics”.
