Scientists teach spinach to send emails – and Twitter cant handle it Professor Michael Strano from MIT said that his teams new research was "a novel demonstration of how we have overcome the plant-to-human communication barrier" Using nanotechnology, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology re-engineered spinach plants to give them extraordinary abilities (Image: SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) The Daily Stars FREE newsletter is spectacular!

Plants automatically sample groundwater and carbon nanotubes enable variance detection The plants can detect nitroaromatic compounds (associated with explosives) present in groundwater that they naturally sample. Upon detection, embedded carbon nanotubes (CNTs) emit a fluorescent signal readable by an infrared camera. The camera can be coupled to a Raspberry Pi handheld computer programmed to email warnings. Interestingly, MIT graduate Min Hao Wong has started a company called Plantea to furthe...

Scientists Taught Spinach How to Send Emails to Help Fight Climate Change — and This Isnt a Joke Andrea Romano © Provided by Travel + Leisure Richard Bord/Getty Scientists have found a way to teach spinach to send emails. But its not just for fun or to tell you about a huge sale event — these specific messages are meant to warn people about climate change or explosive materials, according to EuroNews. According to a study published in the scientific journal Nature Materi...

Wirelessly connected to what, though? To email. I see. How can this be happening? Through a combination of nanotechnology, infrared detectors and the mobile network, if that makes sense. You know what doesn’t make sense? The spinach part. Why would spinach need to receive emails? Don’t be silly – it doesn’t receive emails. Of course not, sorry. It sends them. Spinach is sending emails? To whom? At this stage, mostly to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

They’ve trained rats, bees, and even dolphins to sniff out landmines, but scientists are now turning their attention to an even more unlikely bomb-detecting ally: spinach. Already famous for its health benefits, spinach could soon add even more years onto people’s lives by helping to uncover hidden explosives and avoid casualties. This is thanks to the work of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who used a technique called vascular infusion to introduce carbon ...

Scientists Create Spinach Plants Capable of Sending Emails Though it sounds like a joke you would make at a party, a team of scientists has actually managed to engineer spinach plants that can send emails. A team of scientists at MIT has managed to transform spinach plants into sensors capable of detecting explosive material through nanotechnology. The plants can then send warning signals to scientists. The way it works is that these scientifically engineered plants can use their roots to detec...

Scientists Have Taught Spinach to Send Emails. It Doesnt Involve a Computer FOLLOW US ON: Forget receiving emails from a Nigerian Prince telling you that youre going to win money, your everyday vegetable may be sending you an email soon. The humble spinach, or paalak or paalang saag as it is known in the Indian subcontinent is a common item in kitchens. You wash it, you cook it, you eat it. What would it be like - if they could send emails? Turns out, now they can. This isnt science fiction but...

These spinach plants can send out e-mails, and it can save the environment Using nanotechnology, these spinach plants are able to relay this information to the scientists in the form of an e-mail BusinessToday.In | February 2, 2021 | Updated 19:55 IST Spinach roots can detect the presence of a specific explosive material in the groundwater Plants sending out e-mails sounds like a concept from a science-fiction film set in the distant future. This feat has actually been achieved in 2021 as scie...

No, really, this isnt a prank.  Scientists and researchers have taught the leafy green to send emails, as you might have heard Virgin Radios Tim Cocker talking about. Its all down to the team at MIT in the US, as they argue that plants are constantly taking in information about the world around them, and it was just a case of getting them to transmit that data to us.  Researchers have made it so that when the spinach roots detect the presence of a compound that is often found in explosives l...

It may sound like something out of a futuristic science fiction film, but scientists have managed to engineer spinach plants which are capable of sending emails. Through nanotechnology, engineers at MIT in the US have transformed spinach into sensors capable of detecting explosive materials. These plants are then able to wirelessly relay this information back to the scientists. When the spinach roots detect the presence of nitroaromatics in groundwater, a compound often found in explosives lik...
