Attractive science: Magnetism in hands-on experiments

Enter the realm of magnetism! See and understand experiments with various magnetic and superconducting materials, and let massive objects hover free above the ground. Explore a real refrigerator, that cools items by applying an advanced magnetic effect. Our experienced scientists explain it all to you on an understandable level, and will love to answer all your further questions.

This event will take place at HTW.

Using extreme laser pulses to search for the “flying horses” of quantum physics

DALI has the potential to become a globally unique, high-field radiation source based on accelerated electrons for intense terahertz radiation. Its purpose: the experimental investigation and control of materials on ultrafast timescales. In this introductory lecture, we will explain how we are using these ultrafast laser pulses to search for the “flying horses” of quantum physics.

A Visual Journey Through Magnetohydrodynamics

A Clear Introduction to Magnetohydrodynamics: How do flowing liquids and gases interact with magnetic fields? In addition to technical applications, the topic addresses the question of where the Earth’s and Sun’s magnetic fields come from. At HZDR, we are conducting experimental research on this dynamo process using the large-scale research facility DRESDYN.
