Vilnius University
A new era in the history of the university began in 1990, as Lithuania regained its independence and the university regained its autonomy. The quote “Hinc itur ad astra” symbolized the academic dreams and the aspirations of former times. In the time of the regained independence, such a symbolic function was probably performed by the modern Centre for Physical Sciences and Technology in Saulėtekis, which is conducting research into laser and light technologies, organic materials, chemistry and semiconductor nanotechnology. The facade walls of this building have no writing on them, but the goals and ambitions of a modern university are symbolized by the hexagonal windows, where an ordinary eye would most likely only see fragments of a honeycomb structure, but an expert eye can see the real symbolism – the crystal lattice of graphene, one of the strongest materials, which was created at the beginning of the 21st century.
