Lab Exploration at Long Night of the Sciences
We conducted guided tours of our scanning tunneling microscopy laboratory for the general public at the Long Night of the Sciences in Berlin. Scientifically interested people of all ages could experience how atomically resolved images of a gold surface were recorded by the microscope in front of them in real time. This provided a unique opportunity to the audience where questions such as the working principles of the microscope and potential applications to novel materials science and quantum computing were discussed.
