Moving massive amounts of CO2 underground: research shows how plant-fungal networks drive nutrient flows that support ecosystems |
|
|
|
A study published in Nature has revealed how plants and fungi construct networks that operate as hyper-efficient ‘supply chains,’ moving billions of tons of CO2 underground.
By building a robot that tracks over half a million fungal ’roadways’ simultaneously, the researchers succeeded in mapping and tracking these nutrient-exchange networks that help regulate Earth’s ecosystems and carbon cycles. |

Soft materials that compute: can mechanics support AI?
|
What if the material world around us could think? AMOLF researchers made a remarkable discovery in physical computing: a soft, flexible material that can compute - not by electronics, but through its very shape and structure. |

|
Organized with University of Twente. You can check the program & directly register on NanoLabNL.nl |
The power cost of computing is growing rapidly. For this reason, entirely new computing paradigms are being developed. The aim of the one-day symposium Information in Matter is to bring together prime examples of exciting activities that are focused on alternative forms of computing. |

At AMOLF we wish to understand the fundamental physics and design principles of natural and human-made complex matter. We use the obtained knowledge to create novel functional materials that can provide solutions to societal challenges in renewable energy, green ICT, sustainable materials, and healthcare. AMOLF is part of the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
