Long Night of Science 2025
Welcome!
In 2025, we will once again be opening our doors for the Long Night of Science. Visit us on 28 June 2025, 5 p.m. to midnight, at our campus in Berlin-Adlershof. Embark on an exciting journey through modern photovoltaics research with many information stands and interesting presentations on stage.
For example, our solar cell research institutes in Kekuléstrasse will be presenting exciting science and very practical information.
Look forward to an exciting programme! Here you can find our programme for the Long Night of Science at BESSY II and in Kekuléstraße.
- Michael Naguib is visiting HZB as a Humboldt Research AwardeeProfessor Michael Naguib, from Tulane University in the USA, is one of the discoverers of a new class of 2D materials: MXenes are characterised by a puff pastry-like structure and have many applications, such as in the production of green hydrogen or as storage media for electrical energy. During his Humboldt Research Award in 2025, Professor Naguib is working with Prof Volker Presser at the Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken and with Dr Tristan Petit at HZB.

- AI in Chemistry: Study Highlights Strengths and WeaknessesHow well does artificial intelligence perform compared to human experts? A research team at HIPOLE Jena set out to answer this question in the field of chemistry. Using a newly developed evaluation method called “ChemBench,” the researchers compared the performance of modern language models such as GPT-4 with that of experienced chemists.
