At the KIT Study Info Day, Simon Hettler from the Laboratory for Electron Microscopy and Phillip Willke from the Physics Institute (PHI) gave a talk on "Quantum Physics in Your Smartphone."
They explained how quantum effects like tunneling and semiconductor physics shape everyday technology — in smartphones, cameras, and memory chips.
A key focus was on electron microscopy, which makes nanostructures visible and helps us better understand quantum physics.
Thanks to everyone who joined and showed interest! We look forward to seeing you again at KIT.
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Laboratory for Electron Microscopy (LEM) proudly opened its doors to the public.
During live sessions at our scanning and transmission electron microscopes, visitors had the opportunity to gain fascinating insights into the microscopic world of materials, biology, and nanostructures.
It was a pleasure to share our research, instruments, and passion for science with so many curious minds.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on this special day!
As part of our Open House celebrating 200 years of KIT, one of the most beloved stations was our hands-on light microscopy activity for children.
Young visitors became scientists for a day – exploring flowers and insects under the microscope and proudly taking home their very own "microscopy certificate".
It was a fantastic day filled with curiosity, discovery, and joyful learning – for kids and adults alike.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us – we loved sharing the wonders of microscopy with you and hope to see you again soon!
We had a very inspiring electron microscopy conference in Copenhagen with many of our own contributions. It was great to reconnect with colleagues in person, exchange ideas, and discuss the latest developments. Looking forward to the next microscopy congress in Karlsruhe 2025!
The Research Training Group 2561 "MatCom-ComMat" is successfully entering its second funding period. We are delighted that the LEM is involved.
