Today I read a paper titled “Towards plant wires”
The abstract is:
In experimental laboratory studies we evaluate a possibility of making electrical wires from living plants
In scoping experiments we use lettuce seedlings as a prototype model of a plant wire
We approximate an electrical potential transfer function by applying direct current voltage to the lettuce seedlings and recording output voltage
We analyse oscillation frequencies of the output potential and assess noise immunity of the plant wires
Our findings will be used in future designs of self-growing wetware circuits and devices, and integration of plant-based electronic components into future and emergent bio-hybrid systems
