Colorful images from the microscopic world of basic research require a close second look: Universität Hamburg's Cluster of Excellence CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter is hosting the Arts and Science exhibition, 4-24 April 2023 at Hamburg's city hall. The event is free. They look like fossils, braided patterns, or wave-like structures and some images even have something sacred about them. There is a lot of room for interpretation and observers can choose to immerse themselves in the beauty or read the accompanying texts to understand the underlying physics and chemistry. -We would like to invite visitors to discover the artistic and aesthetic in the natural sciences,- says Peter Schmelcher, board member of the cluster of excellence and co-founder of the arts and science initiative that kicked off with its first exhibition in 2017.
