An international team including engineers from Princeton has devised a way to watch, in stunning detail, as the hollow ...

Mycorrhizal fungi are the supply chains of the soil. With filaments thinner than hair, they shuttle vital nutrients to plants and tree roots. In return, the fungi receive carbon to grow their ...

Over time, our industry has come to better appreciate water. Water availability and the cost of water are now regular topics ...

They found that mycorrhizal fungi—tiny helpers in the soil—play a big role in helping grasslands store more carbon, both near the surface and in deeper soil layers, by promoting plant ...

From the tiniest microorganisms to the largest mammals, life on Earth thrives through interconnected, mutually beneficial ...

Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks?

Yet mycorrhizal fungi have been solving these problems for more than 450 million years. This is the kind of research that keeps you up at night because these fungi are such important underground ...

New research uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon and nutrients across the complex, living networks ...
