Findings could create plant-based technologies, Singaporean scientists say Seyma Uzundere | 16.03.2021

A team of Singaporean scientists discovered that communication between plants and humans is possible by tracing electric signals diffused by plants.
A team at Singapore s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) made the discovery by developing a small conductive material that permits electrical signals to enter and leave plants, according to an article in The Strait Times.
Like brains that send electrical signals, plants also release electrical signals to respond to their environment and show signs of distress or poor health.
Scientists discovered that the signals can be controlled to broaden the plants abilities and functions.
