Physics of Life special exhibition in Technische Sammlungen Dresden
How does a complex organism develop from a single egg cell? How is it that salamanders are able to grow back lost limbs? Researchers with backgrounds in physics, biology and computer science are researching these and other questions at TU Dresden’s interdisciplinary Physics of Life Cluster of Excellence. The interactive Physics of Life exhibition in the Showcases of Research series invites visitors of Technische Sammlungen Dresden Museum of Science and Technology to experiment for themselves with magnetic liquids, phase separation and the construction of molecules.
