(Photo : Getty Images) The Plant-based Robots Scientists in Singapore connected plants to electrodes that have the ability to monitor the weak electrical pulses naturally discharged by the greenery. The researchers made use of the technology to trigger a Venus flytrap to snap its jaws close when a button on a smartphone app is pushed. They then connected one of its...
