Over the past 10 years, the Science Communication Lab has created more than 100 projects for a wide variety of scientific disciplines. Co-founder and Creative Director Konrad Rappaport will give an insight into his design process tomorrow in Zeuthen at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY. In particular, he will talk about the development of #astrophysical #visualizations. The event will be moderated by Marek Kowalski. The animations can be viewed on the DESY YouTube channel in the "High-Energy Astrophysics" playlist, https://shorturl.at/tzBL1 Thursday 07.03.2024, 09:30 → 10:30 Europe/Berlin Location: Villa | SR5 and ZOOM (https://lnkd.in/e6gwGqmw) Contact: The seminar is organised by Ingo Ebel (DV) and Julia Eckert (KOM).

Join astrophysicists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (#MPIK) and the H.E.S.S. collaboration on a cosmic odyssey to unravel some of the mysteries of the microquasar SS 433 in the Milky Way. For the first time, they were able to use gamma-ray observations to track the energetic electron population and pinpoint the location of particle acceleration. It has been a great journey for us to find and produce images that capture the scientific complexity of microquasar phenomena: We were faced with the challenge of understanding fascinating scientific findings and translating them into images. This process is what drives us - it's great to design images hidden in complex data and results. We worked closely with the H.E.S.S. scientists to produce this animation to help people see and understand the mesmerising beauty of the complex shock region or accelerated electrons in the microquasar jets. https://lnkd.in/e7hdpfPy #scicomm #wisskomm #3D #scivis #astrophysics #HESS Client: Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) and the H.E.S.S. collaboration Sound: substan_music Voice: Margit Sander

Thank you #astrophysics for providing exciting new insights every year. What looks like fireworks is brought to you by the talented team at Science Communication Lab, depicting a pulsar, detected at the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia. Looking forward to many new publications from all walks of life - science that is - in 2024!

Not a light saber, but an innovative concept, which changes the direction of laser light with the help of sound waves. The beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. This novel concept has a few advantages: the invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original quality of the beam.
