Evolutionary biology: Ants can hold a grudge
A team led by evolutionary biologist Volker Nehring is investigating the extent to which ants learn from past experiences.
Research team develops novel biomimetic speaking valve technology
A research team from the University of Freiburg and the Medical Center- University of Freiburg has developed a novel biomimetic speaking valve technology that could significantly increase the safety of tracheostomised patients.
Researchers at the University of Freiburg receive ERC Synergy Grants
The European Research Council (ERC) is honouring two international and interdisciplinary teams, including researchers from Freiburg.
Studying Insects with Drones
A team at the University of Freiburg has built a drone capable of following and filming bees over a distance of more than 100 metres. The data is intended to provide information about the behaviour of insects in their national surroundings. The researchers developed a new tracking technology for this purpose.
Plant stem cells: Better understanding the biological mechanism of growth control
Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant growth in conjunction with WOX5. Understanding this mechanism is relevant for breeding more resilient or higher-yielding crops.
