Bio-Inspired Hydrogel Electrode for Plant-Leaf Signals: IJASC
A co-first-author study of a hydrogel electrode that adheres to rough, moisture-changing leaf surfaces and records electrical signals.
A co-first-authored paper introduces a hydrogel-integrated, octopus-inspired adhesive (H-OIA) patch with an engineered silicone interface that conforms to the rough, variably-hydrated surface of plant leaves. On Coffea arabica, it enables stable long-term recording of stimulus-responsive plant bioelectrical signals where conventional electrodes detach.
