It's hard to imagine how plants, one of nature's greatest successes, could be improved, but nanobionic plants which enhance the photosynthetic function of chloroplasts isolated from plants for possible use in solar cells may get a boost. By augmenting them with nanomaterials, plants could enhance their energy production and get completely new functions, such as monitoring environmental pollutants. read more
