Join Battery Betty on a scientific adventure. She invented a battery. The flexible, strechable and bendable Betty Battery! Let Betty take you on a social media journey through her lab and into the awsome world of Applied Physics.

As part of the WTZ West - Knowledge Transfer Center, the University of Arts Linz works on new strategies of science communication technics. After "Maybe Palermo", that won a Golden Dolphin in Cannes, and "Rhinospider: An Operation in Three Acts", that premiered in 2016, we are proud to announce the third cinematic adaptation of a scientific patent: "Battery Betty". A fundamentally new concept of a battery and its extraordinary inventor Betty are the protagonists of a 7-episode YouTube series. In close  interdisciplinary collaboration, the University of Arts Linz, the Department of Soft Matter Physics at the Institute of Experimental Physics (SoMaP) at  JKU Linz and the team of Las Gafas Films developed a hybrid format that performs between social media interaction and a sheer unlimited spirit of adventure. The series was shot on location at the laboratories for Soft Matter Physics at the JKU Linz. Battery Betty provides insights into the awsome world of applied physics, including a stress ball, cat content and heatable swim hats.

Battery Betty is a collaboration between the University of Arts Linz, JKU Linz and Las Gafas Films.
