+A truly interdisciplinary effort spanning biophysics, robotics, fluid dynamics, ecology & evolution, and a wonderful collaboration of 28 authors across several labs (AMOLF, VU Amsterdam, SPUN, Princeton, ENS Lyon, ESPCI Paris). Led by first authors Loreto Oyarte Gálvez and @cbisot.bsky.social .

+Our paper now out in @nature.com. We designed and built at AMOLF a robot that maps & tracks fungal networks as they trade nutrients with plants. We discovered how fungi build and operate hyper-efficient 'supply chains' for underground ecosystems.
