Fitting science in 221qm – time machines, space radiation and climate policies.
First evening of Pint of Science 2024! Do you want to hear about aging processes in materials, European climate policies and the risk of space radiation? Thomas Blochowicz, Julian Baehr, and Francesca Luoni will guide you through these topics, bring your friends and join them!!

Reporting Greenhouse Gases: A Ride through European Climate Policy
Julian Baehr (PhD student at TU Darmstadt)
Since GHG reporting obligations for companies are getting so diverse, it’s hard to keep up. Therefore this talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the current legislative landscape and guide you step by step through the jungle of reporting obligations.

„If I could turn back time…“ Über Alterungsprozesse und die ‚innere Uhr‘ von Materialien
Thomas Blochowicz (Professor at TU Darmstadt)
Aus der Alltagserfahrung wissen wir, dass spontane Prozesse unumkehrbar sind: das Glas, das zerbricht wird nicht von alleine wieder ganz. Für das Altern von Materialien, wie Gläser, Kunststoffe oder Kolloide würde man Ähnliches erwarten. Nun wurde erstmalig die „innere Uhr“ in solchen Werkstoffen gemessen mit einem überraschenden Ergebnis…

Space Radiation: The Invisible Obstacle to Space Exploration
Francesca Luoni (Postdoc at CERN)
Space Radiation is one of the main hindrances to space exploration. Space explorers are constantly exposed to radiation emitted from our Sun, and from supernova explosions within and even without the Milky Way. Let us try to understand what is it, why it is dangerous, and how to protect our explorers.

This year, the entrance to the event is free, no ticket is needed.
