Seed-Inspired Microdevices and Zombie Plants

The video explores the concept of using tiny, seed-inspired flyers for environmental monitoring, drawing inspiration from natural seed dispersal methods. These flyers can carry sensors and communicate data, offering a potential solution for monitoring environmental quality and detecting forest fires. The video also delves into the effects of phytoplasma parasites on plants, which can turn them into 'zombie plants' by altering their genetic expression. Scientists have developed a genetic modification to make plants resistant to these parasites, potentially benefiting global food production.
