Saturday Morning Physics | The Science of Physicist Jens Zorn's Art

Multiple U-M Faculty Speakers

A polished bronze sculpture stands centered in a lush garden. The piece consists of a wide, curved metal ribbon that spirals around a central vertical rod, resting on a dark, four-sided pyramidal base. Behind the sculpture, dense bushes of vibrant purple azaleas and white-flowering shrubs grow against a light stone wall. A polished bronze sculpture stands centered in a lush garden.

Jens Zorn was a Michigan Physics professor, molecular physicist, and renowned teacher and academic administrator. He was also an artist who began a second career in earnest in the 1990's, creating sculptures that commemorated great discoveries and undertakings in physics and optics. Join us on April 18, 2026, for a visual tour of Jens Zorn's creations with introductions to the science behind the sculptures presented by U-M faculty.
