You can now view the latest exhibit in the exhibition.

2025 June 23 The Lithuanian-developed ‘Matchbox’ laser, manufactured by Integrated Optics, was launched into orbit. It operates at an altitude of approximately 550 km in low Earth orbit. The mission, led by the University of Vienna, aims to test quantum computing in space. We are proud to share this achievement with you at the museum. You can now view the latest exhibit in the exhibition – the laser, which is integrated into a quantum computer model. We sincerely thank the Integrated Optics, Inc. team for their trust and this special gift! This is not just technology – these are Lithuanian scientific and innovation achievements that are shaping the history of technological progress not only in Lithuania but also worldwide.

Did You Know?

Stars “sing.”

Their vibrations can be converted into sound waves — a field known as asteroseismology.

Astronauts “grow taller” in space.

Without gravity, the spine expands and height increases by about 2–3 cm; after returning to Earth, it returns to normal.

It may rain diamonds on Neptune.

Gas giants have such immense pressure that carbon can turn into solid crystals.

When we look at the stars, we are looking into the past.

Light takes thousands or even millions of years to reach us, so we see what they were like, not what they are now.
