We want your "Ahas"

FACT! Science is so easy to captivate you too

Dusty? Boring? Not with FÄKT!, the ÖAW's new science communication project. We have all the information for you!(Bild: Krone KREATIV/stock.adobe.com/ÖAW)

Complicated and bland my ass: We encounter science and research all the time in our everyday lives. We just don't notice them because we are all too happy to take things like cell phones, glaciers and even swear words for granted and don't really question them. And yet we would be so amazed! Curious? Then follow us into the world of FÄKT!

Do you know what FÄKT! is? It's a project of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) that is aimed at children and young people - with mega short videos on social media and co. with the two cheeky students Miso and Julia as hosts.

We not only have all the information and links for you, but have also highlighted the most exciting topics for adults. Read why your cell phone weighs more than just a few grams, why the ice mummy Ötzi was as hot as we are in summer, which swear words are good for you and much more.

We invite you to indulge in the world of science - and we promise it won't be complicated or boring. Here we list all Krone+ stories that appear in the course of FÄKT!, and every week we devote ourselves to further topics with an "aha!" and "wow" effect!

By the way: be sure to watch the mega-smart, youth-friendly FÄKT! explanatory videos together with your children! We have collected the links for you in the box below.
