Engineers have developed a sensor that can be “printed” onto plant leaves to indicate when they need water
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed sensors that can be implanted in plant leaves so that it would be easier for humans to identify whether they are in need of water. Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs professor of chemical engineering at MIT and the senior author of the study, says this […]

Be your own generator: New technology converts energy from bloodflow into electricity
Dams and huge turbines are built to convert the water energy that waterfalls and rivers have into electricity. In order to manufacture that kind of energy on a far smaller scale, Chinese scientists are working on a lightweight power generator which is based on carbon nanotube fibers that can convert even the energy of the […]
