This is one of the things, which makes the plants more interesting than people ever imagined.

The way how dodder plant (Cascuta)(1) is acting has caused an idea that something is calling that parasitic plant to the plant. And if that thing what is calling that parasite to the plants can be created synthetically that thing can call the parasite plant away from plantages. Researchers have found that the mechanism, that calls the parasitic plants to plantages might be the sound that comes from cultivated plants.

In the future, the sound that emulates the water flow in the veins of cultivated plants could call the weeds away from the plantages. (2)The researchers have found that some of the parasitic plants are eavesdropping the cultivated plants. And the sound of flowing water is calling the weeds to the plantages. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the sound of growing rods and dividing cells is the thing, that would call the parasitic plants to the area.

When the cells are spitting that thing keeps the sound. And the sequence of that sound is telling, how good nutrient the plant gets. If the sound of splitting cells is repeating often, the plant would get good nutrients and that means that the parasitic plants can start to grow to the cultivated plants.

The ability to hear and react with things like water flow in the cultivated plants would make the ultimate ability to weed. But the thing is that if the parasitic weeds are hearing the water flow in the cultivated plant, and then start to grow to it, that thing makes it possible to make the weeds to grow in another direction. If that thing is successful, chemicals what is used in plantations can be replaced by using the sound that emulates the water flow in the veins of the cultivated plants.

But there is a possibility to use the new type of chemicals and sound for protecting the plantations. In the biological blocking of the weeds and pests, the synthetic pheromones and sound can be used to call things like ladybugs to the plantations for removing the pests. And that thing can make it possible to deny the pests to infect the plantages.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low. The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away. When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
