During Researchers' Night, all faculties and institutes of Brno University of Technology will come alive. | Author: Václav KoníčekA series of profiles introduces the scientists who will show visitors during the Researchers' Night that inspiration can be found absolutely everywhere. An ordinary game of tic-tac-toe becomes a tool for researching human thinking. Laboratories reveal how cutting-edge technologies are created. Mathematics helps uncover the mysteries of the Sun. Modern equipment explains why our brains sometimes see the world differently from the way it actually is. And chemistry shows that even an ordinary kitchen can become a place for fascinating experiments.All the profiles have one thing in common – they invite visitors to experience science firsthand and discover what lies behind the research carried out at BUT!Mathematician Miloslav Druckmüller is studying the solar corona. | Author: Václav Široký
Playful, cognitive, cosmic. That is cognitive tic-tac-toe, showing that science does not have to be all about complex equations and graphs. “We are scientists who like to play. That's why our research sometimes results in something that has a scientific foundation while also serving as a great toy,” explains Oto Janoušek from FEEC BUT. More details.
One of the best facilities in the world. That is how Michal Urbánek describes CEITEC Nano, which provides equipment for the preparation, examination and analysis of samples down to the nanometre scale. “As part of the Night of Scientists, we will take visitors through our laboratories and show them the five most expensive, largest and most important instruments. Each of them is worth around CZK 50 million,” reveals the head of CEITEC Nano.

The Sun, photography, mathematics. These are the main themes of the lecture Why Observe the Sun When It Can't Be Seen?, during which visitors will explore the mysteries of solar eclipses and discover how mathematics can reveal what people would otherwise be unable to see with their own eyes. “Listeners will learn many interesting facts about the solar corona. Anyone interested in mysterious and still not fully understood phenomena will find this lecture fascinating,” explains Miloslav Druckmüller from FME BUT. More details.
Gaze, data, curiosity. These are the hallmarks of eye tracking, a technology that reveals how human perception works and what our gaze can tell us. “Visitors will be able to experience the difference between what we actually see and how our brain processes the resulting image,” explains Michala Vránová from FBM BUT. More details.
The kitchen – a great laboratory! This perfectly describes a special edition of the Chemistry Tea at Five, featuring a series of experiments for chemistry enthusiasts in which ordinary household items are transformed into surprising chemical reactions. “Visitors to the Night of Scientists will witness something between a chemistry show and an interactive lecture,” says chemist and science communicator Tomáš Opravil from FCH BUT.

The Researchers' Night will take place on Friday, September 25, with all BUT faculties and units taking part. Laboratories, classrooms and research facilities will open their doors to the public and offer a programme full of experiments, interactive demonstrations and opportunities to meet scientists. More information can be found on the Researchers' Night website.
Come and discover how the technologies that shape your everyday life are created – and experience BUT!
