Microchip ecology on the radio

– Published 2 February 2018

The SoilChip project was featured on the radio, with Edith Hammer, Kristin Aleklett and Pelle Ohlsson explaining how microchips from Biomedical Engineering help ecologists study what bacteria and fungi are doing under the ground and how the microscopic labyrinths in the ground prevent microorganisms from finding carbon and releasing it into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
