Description

For the Long Night of Sciences 2026, we invite you to the Center for Energy Technology to explore these very questions—in an accessible and engaging way, and through direct interaction with our scientists.

Discover real fuels and learn about the role they play today and in the future. Take a look at our test facilities and gain exclusive insights into current energy technology research projects. Using demonstrators and visualizations, we’ll show you how heat is transferred and the processes behind modern energy conversion. Fascinating flame images and their analysis also reveal what happens during combustion processes.

For us, it’s not just about watching: Take the opportunity to ask your questions, talk with us, and learn more about the technology behind energy supply, efficiency, and sustainable solutions.
