New High-Tech Plants Could Detect Bombs or Chemical Weapons
Researchers have begun engineering plants to produce more loads of energy or sense pollution and even explosives. In a new study, researchers embedded tiny structures called carbon nanotubes into the energy-making factories of plants, increasing their light-capturing ability by 30 percent. Using other carbon nanotubes, the researchers made plants sensitive to the atmospheric pollutant nitric…Sursa
