One of the lead researchers, Professor Micheal Strano said this experiment is a "novel demonstration" of how we have managed to overcome the plant-human communication barrier.

Using nanotechnology, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have managed to engineer spinach plants capable of sending emails. The applications of this technology that falls under the category of 'plant nanobionics' range from detection of explosives for sampling groundwater.

According to engineers at MIT, the engineered spinach roots can detect the presence of nitroaromatics in groundwater. This compound is widely used in explosives such as landmines.

Once the engineered spinach roots detects nitroaromatics, the carbon nanotubes in the plant emit a signal that wirelessly relays this information to an infrared camera that sends an email alert back to the scientists.

Radiation is well-known for destroying both materials and living species. Surprisingly, MIT engineers have found that radiation may help some alloys to self-heal, extending their lifetime. This discovery could help guide future power plant designs. Radiation accelerates the corrosion of most materials in nuclear reactors, which leads to failure and...

MIT team takes second place on nationally televised “Ninja Warrior” championships

[ad_1]

Three MIT students showed the world that Institute affiliates can be just as successful on an obstacle course as they are in a lab when they were nearly crowned champions on the sports competition show “Team Ninja Warriors: College Madness.”

In the show — a spinoff of the popular “American Ninja Warrior” — competitors from 16 universities raced each other and the clock in a series of…

The sanity of the long-distance runner Polina Anikeeva is ready for Patriots Day. Like the thousands of other runners who make their way from Hopkington, Massachusetts, all the way to that last turn onto Boylston Street in the heart of Beantown, she has her own reasons for running the Boston Marathon; among them: the desire for a balanced life within academe.

MIT engineers developed device that pulls electricity from air

MIT engineers developed device that pulls electricity from air.Temperature alterations large as well as small are taking place around everybody the moment, as well as scientists have created a manufacturer that could change those variants into electricity, possibly powering sensing units and interaction tools almost out of thin air.
