This allows the design of a broad variety of biologically inspired artificial plants that behave nearly the same as their biological counterparts. The same sensing technology is used with both ...

These same properties are found in the plant's cell wall. One material, in particular, stood out. Scaffolds made of polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymers mimicked the properties and ...

But what about artificial plants? Binghamton University PhD student Maryam Rezaie developed an artificial plant to help filter carbon dioxide. It emits more oxygen than an organic plant.
