Even if you don't know what 3D microfluidic networks are, that doesn't change the fact that they have some very valuable possible uses. Scientists have now devised a much easier method of making the ...

A common gardening worry – especially when choosing plants – is pot plants becoming root bound. But Millie explains that this is not a problem with every type of plant. You can feel when a plant’s ...

Scientists have developed a toolbox of transcriptional regulators for plants and show that they can be used to construct synthetic genetic circuits that predictably modify root growth. Their work is ...

Researchers have developed a new bio-inspired approach to building complex 3D microfluidic networks by utilizing plant roots and fungal hyphae as molds. The team grew plants and fungi in nanoparticles ...

Siul Ruiz receives funding from The Royal Society. James Le Houx does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and ...

(Nanowerk News) Microfluidic technology has become increasingly important in many scientific fields such as regenerative medicine, microelectronics, and environmental science. However, conventional ...

When you see a plant growing, flowering and fruiting in a garden, field, forest or pot you’re only seeing a part and not the whole. Much of the plant exists below the ground in the soil in the form of ...
