Cyborg Rose: Researchers implant electronic circuits inside plants.

A team of Swedish researchers, by using living roses, has created analogue and digital electronic circuits inside living plants, calling them "electronic plants". The experiment demonstrates wires, digital logic and displays elements fabricated inside the plants that could develop new applications for organic electronics and new tools in plant science. The group at Linkoping University in Sweden, under the leadership of professor Magnus Berggren, used the vascular system of living roses to build...

Amazing Batteries that Run on Any Liquid

A new, “organic” battery has been invented which generates a charge within 10 seconds and will last anywhere from two days to a week depending on the liquid. The world’s first chlorophyll organic battery has been invented by Chungpin Liao, a professor at the Graduate School of Electro-Optic and Material Science of National Formosa University in Taiwan. He claims that his battery can be filled up with almost anything, including water and urine, and it can provide electricity from two to sev...
