Bilder aus der Wissenschaft app for iPhone and iPad

Science often strives to push the boundaries of the known world to explore new topics
and make the invisible visible. In addition to a purely scientific documentation of
research objects, sometimes images are created that feature surprising aesthetic forms
and structures — abstract works of art from a world normally hidden to the human
eye. For the exhibition “Images of Science”, scientists from the more than 80 research
institutes of the Max Planck Society provide images showcasing their work.
The multimedia audio guide to the exhibition offers you exciting insights into the
discoveries and methods behind the images. They range from the uncovering of the
human body’s long unknown defense strategies to the exploration of dark matter in the
universe, from the function of novel solar cells to the documentation of art historical
treasures. In addition to the audio explanations, you will see many more pictures, and
you can also select films, slide shows, and supplementary texts on the various topics.
