The European mistletoe 🌿 knows how to anchor: Its V-shaped interface with the host tree lasts 20+ years. Max Mylo @plantbiomax.bsky.social  & co-researchers from @uni-freiburg.de  and Fraunhofer IWM mimicked this V-shape in glass-fiber-reinforced #polypropylene: tinyurl.com/38h36pnu #BJNANO

Testing the students' metamaterial bridges was an engaging close to this year's Master's course in programmable bio-inspired metamaterials at IMTEK at the @uni-freiburg.de. Many thanks to my colleague Naeim Ghavidelnia for his brilliant ideas and efforts during the course! @livmats.bsky.social

What a fun poster session at the @sebiology.bsky.social conference in Antwerp yesterday! @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social & I shared our latest results on mistletoe germination, giving the audience a cinema feeling of our 3D visualizations 😎 @jxbotany.bsky.social Paper: academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-...

🚨 New paper alert! And this is special because it has been in the pipeline for 5 years. We used #microCT scanning to show that, despite their minute vegetative body, #ParasiticPlants like #Pilostyles form an extensive colony within the host bark. academic.oup.com/aob/advance-...

While we're working on a nice gimmick for our @sebiology.bsky.social poster, our colleagues think it's movie day at the office...

From start to finish, it was a pure joy to work with @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social and the rest of the team! It's great to see what can be achieved when you combine expertise & research around a joint idea. I'm very proud of our next @livmats.bsky.social publication and my first paper as lead author.
