Moving without muscles: Plants as mechanical engineers

Plants do not have muscles, but they are great architects that can engineer a variety of structures for fast movement and growth. These abilities are fascinating and an inspiration for modern engineering and materials development. Join us to explore plant biomechanics: you will get to use real equipment, generate your own data and try to interpret the results – just as our researchers do every day.
