Science exhibition of the University of Stuttgart on the world of porous media at the Planetarium Stuttgart [ Picture: ABK Stuttgart] - The new science exhibition "PRETTY POROUS - ALLES PORÖS" uses examples from biology, technology, and the environment to provide insight into the world of porous media and shows how current research makes the invisible visible. The exhibition of the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1313 "Porous Media" of the University of Stuttgart is a cooperation with the real-life laboratory "Space Sharing" of the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (ABK) and with the Cluster of Excellence EXC 2075 "Data-Integrated Simulation Science" (SimTech) of the University of Stuttgart. It will be open to the public from June 18 to August 30, 2020 in the Spektralsaal of the Planetarium Stuttgart. "In our everyday life we actually find porous media everywhere," says Prof. Rainer Helmig, spokesman of the SFB 1313 at the University of Stuttgart. "Virtually anything can be porous: different materials such as paper, asphalt, rock, and plastic, but also the soil on which we stand, and of course we humans with skin and hair. Porous media have one thing in common: They have a cavity structure. If you look at them under the microscope, their permeability (porosity) can be seen very clearly.
