TheConversationUS, 27 days ago Plant scientists at the University of Tennessee wanted to figure out alternatives to mechanical radiation sensors, which have a history of failing at the wrong time. How about a potato plant that glows fluorescent green when exposed to radiation? This “could act as a fail-safe if a disaster similar to Fukushima Daiichi were to occur.” https://theconversation.com/potato-plant-radiation-sensors-could-one-day-monitor-radiation-in-areas-surrounding-power-plants-219950 #science #research #health
