In their natural environment, all insects—including pests that attack our crops—have natural predators. We take advantage of this for biological pest control in our greenhouse and largely avoid using insecticides.
A new AI will soon be assisting researchers at our institute with their work—and our visitors can already ask it all sorts of questions during the Long Night of Science!
Can you see a rainbow even on a long night? We’ll get to the bottom of this question and make the invisible visible. Light is broken down into spectral colors by an optical grating. But what secrets await at the end of the rainbow?
We’ll give you a glimpse into our research on molds and show you how we’re searching for new antibiotics. You’ll learn how we work safely with molds in the lab and discover the fascinating “language” of microorganisms.
