A ‘Cyborg Rose’ with an electronic circuitry embedded in its vascular system has been successfully created. This breakthrough could allow creation of electronics that have perfect synergy with living biological systems.
Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have managed to seamlessly merge electronic circuitry with the vascular system of living plants. For their first ever attempt, scientists have created a kind of cyborg flower – a rose which has micro-electronic circuits embedded through its vascular system, allowing scientists to send and receive electrical and electronic signals and have an elemental, but functional device that offers basic functions of an electronic circuit.
