A breakthrough technology uses nanoscale sensors and fiber optics to measure water status just inside a leaf's surface, where water in plants is most actively managed.

In a first, the digital fiber contains memory, temperature sensors, and a trained neural network program for inferring physical activity.

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed, biodegradable mini-capacitor that consists of carbon, cellulose, glycerin and table salt.
