Nanobionic spinach plants can detect explosives

ISLAMABAD, Nov 2 (APP): Scientists have found a way to use Spinach to detect bombs and explosives, implanting tiny nanomaterials to make a particular plant do some extraordinary things. The scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have figured out a way to engineer spinach to detect explosives as soon as they are near. This field of science concerning plants and nanobionic engineering is called “Plant Nanobionics.” As per details on Wednesday, in this particular case, they put sensors in part of a spinach leaf where photosynthesis happens.
