Prof. Tanja Mimmo investigates how plants absorb nutrients like phosphorus more efficiently through processes in the rhizosphere – the soil zone surrounding their roots.

Flexible, biocompatible, they swim in liquids and respond to stimuli. They are the "Flexibots", created through a project by unibz and the Zurich Polytechnic.

The project aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of Physical Literacy among students who intend to become physical education teachers.

Researchers Giulia Elli and Camilo Eduardo Tellez Villamizar awarded at conferences in Japan and Belgium for their work on sensors for environment and health.
