Create the world's first 'electronic commissions'

By passing the semiconductor resin into the rose plant, the scientists turned it into a "robot" with internal circuits. They can make their leaves glow, or "adjust" its growth.

There were the first electronic commissions in the world

Magnus Berggren, who led the research team at Linkoping University in Sweden, said it was the first successful study of putting electronic circuits into plants.

Illustrated "electronic roses" published by scientists Linoping University.

Their approach is as follows: First, they put the rose plant in a synthetic resin called PEDOT-S . The flowers will absorb the resin through the tissue and the water absorption system, forming the "electric wire".

Then, scientists connected the "wires" with the ions contained in flower cells, creating a transistor and a digital logic gateway - one of the major components of computer systems. When electric current flows through the circuit, the leaves can change color or glow.

The scientists say they can put sensors inside trees so they "feel" and show environmental changes that help growers make the proper adjustments. .

They also said the study "helps pave the way for new technologies and tools based on the integration of organic circuits and plants in general."

The study was published in the journal Science Advances.
