Im Gespräch mit Prof. Wolfgang M. Heckl – Wissenschaftler, Kommunikator, Nano-Pionier und künstlerischer Grenzgänger – begeben wir uns auf eine Reise in die Welt von Science & Art. Vom Molekülismus und sich selbst organisierenden Molekülen über poetische Rastertunnelmikroskopien bis zu aktuellen Arbeiten mit Künstlicher Intelligenz, die Musik in Bilder verwandelt und umgekehrt, entfaltet sich eine faszinierende und lehrreiche Entdeckungsreise. An ihrem Ende ist klar, Wissenschaft und Kunst zusammengehören, auch wenn wir das manchmal vergessen haben.
