In the history of science and technology, there are fascinating pages that can unveil a profound story. Some physical effects, as static electricity, were known since ancient Greece. People were able to see it, for example, with an amber or electric catfish. However, the radioactivity can not be observed at all, because our human bodies have no sense for it.

In this part, I will show 5 places and everyday objects that I was able to find in Berlin. These objects connect history, technology, and science, and I hope readers will learn something new.
