Bioelectronics designs, organs electrogenesis & bioelectronic soil

Swedish Scientists show that Electronic “soil” enhances crop growth

The Linköping University researchers have shown that barley seedlings grown in the conductive “soil” grew up to 50% more in 15 days when their roots were stimulated electrically.

Mineral wool is often used as cultivation substrate in hydroponics. Not only is this non-biodegradable, it is also produced with a very energy intensive process. The electronic cultivation substrate eSoil is made of cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer, mixed with a conductive polymer called PEDOT. This combination as such is not new, but this is the first time it has been used for plant cultivation and for creating an interface for plants in this manner.

Previous research has used high voltage to stimulate the roots. The advantage of the Linköping researchers’ “soil” is that it has very low energy consumption and no high voltage danger. Eleni Stavrinidou believes that the new study will open the pathway for new research areas to develop further hydroponic cultivation.

Conducting polymer coatings of organic electronic material, showed massive improvement in the technology of materials, the most sophisticated form of electrical stimulation. This improved the impedance of electrodes in electrical stimulation, resulting in better recordings and reducing "harmful electrochemical side reactions." Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECT) were invented in 1984 by Mark Wrighton and colleagues, which had the ability to transport ions.

Methods of stimulation by electro signals is used for helath recovery and is used to treat patients with epilepsy, chronic pain, Parkinson's, deafness, Essential Tremor and blindness

There will be new sciences with Cyborgs, Biocomputer, new medical Biomedical engineering, new Bio-electro senses and Nanotech.
