Plant pulse sensors: From soil probes to tree tattoos
Plants do not just grow—they signal. From the subtle moisture shifts in soil to the faint electrical rhythms coursing through leaves and stems, botanical sensors are turning greenery into living data networks. What began with rugged soil probes has evolved into delicate tree tattoos that map physiological responses in real time. This convergence of biology […]
