Researchers in Texas have created a graphene leaf tattoo that reads a plant’s moisture in real time and can act as an artificial synapse, raising the prospect of forests and fields that monitor fire and drought themselves.
Researchers in Japan have built a WiFi receiver that survives 500 kilograys of radiation – thousands of times what space electronics endure – paving the way for untethered robots to decommission reactors like Fukushima without trailing tangled cables.
