"Pretty Porous - Alles Porös" Science Exhibition

PRETTY POROUS – ALLES PORÖS

The SFB 1313 porous media science exhibition

The SFB 1313 science exhibition “PRETTY POROUS – ALLES PORÖS”, shown at the Planetarium Stuttgart from 18 June to 30 August 2020, gave insights into the world of porous media in a playful way. It demonstrated how current research makes the invisible visible and invited visitors to explore porous media through interactive stations and exhibits.

The exhibition was shown in the foyer of the Planetarium Stuttgart and was freely acsessible.

To the exhibition content

The World of Porous Media

If we take a close look at ourselves and our environment, it becomes pretty visible: somehow almost everything is porous! The soil and the natural subsurface, the human body with skin and hair, various materials such as paper, asphalt or plastic are only a few examples. Whether biology, the environment or technology: porous media are everywhere!

What are porous media? Where can we find them? How do experiments and simulations help us to understand processes in porous media? And how does this knowledge influence our everyday lives? The exhibition of the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1313 and the Cluster of Excellence SimTech (University of Stuttgart) gave answers to these and many more questions.

The exhibition content is collected on an external website, which can also be used in various ways beyond the exhibition.

Lecture Series

A freely accessible lecture series took place in the framework of the exhibition "Pretty Porous - Alles Porös". Scientists of the University of Stuttgartgave talks on their porous media research topics in the planetarium's domed hall. The freely accessible lectures were simultaneously broadcasted on SFB 1313's YouTube channel.
