On Saturday, June 6th, CRC 1114 participated in 2026’s Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften. This year, we were fortunate to welcome former CRC member Tom Dörffel, now working at Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics in Kühlungsborn. Tom brought with him a series of experiments that showcased phenomena with relation to the CRCs research topics. Some more information about the experiments can be found here (in English) and here (in German). Visitors were also encouraged to leave a note about any new knowledge they gained, whether of small facts or big revelations. 

We were also happy to show a small exhibition of paintings inspired by passive scalar turbulence. Thank you to artist Sandizaira Mergen!

Many thanks to everyone helping with this event: Julian Hille, Nelly Coulonges, Fan Cheng, Sandra Krämer, Benjamin Hery, Deepyaman Chakraborty, Ana Damnjanovic, Andrea Gulyas, Juliane Rosemeier, Robin Chemnitz, Rupert Klein, Till Grutschus, Jana Jerosch, Max Jaeger and Kristine Al Zoukra. Special thanks to Fan Cheng for the photographs!

Thank you also to those CRC members who participated in Lange Nacht with their own projects: Roland Netz and Felix Riesterer at the Physics Department of Freie Universität and Steffi Winkelmann, Nathalie Unger and Anne Gossing at Zuse Institut.
