Peanut ‘Underground Growth’ Difficult to Monitor? AI Root Sensors Visualize ‘Growth in Soil’

Click the blue text to follow us The characteristic of peanuts, “flowering above ground and fruiting underground,” has always made it difficult for growers to grasp the development of underground fruit needles. Traditional methods rely solely on experience, often leading to issues such as soil compaction and improper moisture, which prevent the fruit needles from … Read more

Breakthrough in Biosensors: Engineered Strains Achieve Rapid Detection of Microplastics

The persistence of plastics in the environment, especially after disposal, poses a significant threat to ecosystems. Among them, microplastics (MPs) are particularly concerning due to their small size and difficulty in detection. Once they enter aquatic systems, microplastics can threaten marine life and human health through the food chain. Current methods for assessing plastic pollution, … Read more

Piezoelectric Accelerometers: Principles, Structure, and Selection Guide
