Take care of your plants! They may “scream” if you treat them badly.Although this is an exaggeration,
plants canmakesoundswhentheyarestressed,accordingto arecentpaperpublishedin Cell.“Plants interact
with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these organisms use sound for communication, so it
would be very suboptimal for plants not to use sound at all,”Lilach Hadany, co-author of the study, told
ScienceFocus.
Withthisinmind,theresearchteamstartedbyrecordingplants’sounds.Theyplacedtobaccoandtomato

put near the plants, which can record at frequencies between 20 and 250 kilohertz. The maximum frequency

There were three groups ofplants: Onegroup wasn’t watered forfive days, another group hadthe stems
cutoffandthelastgroupwasuntouched.Themicrophonescaughtsoundsatafrequencyof40to80kilohertz
from the first two groups. The sound, which was similar to the noise of popcorn popping when “translated”
into a frequency humans can hear, grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then
began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers found that a stressed plant produced the popping
sound around 30 to 50 times per hour, while the untouched group only produced around once per hour,
accordingtothestudy.
The researchers haven’tyet discovered howthe sounds aremade. One theory is that they could be made
during cavitation (气穴现象), which is a process of an air bubble in the plant collapsing under some kind of
pressure.After the experiment, the team gathered the data on stressed plantsand then made machine-learning
software that could tell how plants “feel”. It could differentiate between unstressed plants, thirsty plants and
cutplants,whichcanbeusefulforfarmersinmonitoringtheconditionsoftheircrops.

The human brain is a powerful natural computer that has evolved over tens of thousands of years. But
whatwouldyougetifyoucombinedthisbiologicalcomputerwitharealone?
Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington in the US have linked human brain-like tissues to an
electronic chip, which can perform simple computer tasks. Their creation, named Brainoware, is part of a
growing field called biological computing that might one day outperform current computers, according to
Nature.
The brain-like tissues the researchers used, also known as brain organoids (类器官), weren't part of a
living person's brain. They were “grown” from human stem cells, which are capable of producing different
typesofcellsandformingbodytissues.
It took two months for the stem cells to mature into an organoid. The researchers then placed one
organoid onto an electronic chip with thousands of electrodes (电极).Although organoids are much simpler
and smaller than an actual brain, they act similarly to human brains, such as responding to electrical signals,
which is whatourbraindoes allthetime.Theseresponsesleadto changes inthe brain,which fuelourability
tolearn.
To test Brainoware, the researchers used it for voice recognition by training it with 240 Japanese
recordingsspokenbyeightspeakers.Theyfoundthattheorganoidreacteddifferentlytowardeachvoice.With
anaccuracyof78percent,itsuccessfullyidentifiedthespeakersbyshowingdifferentneuralactivities.What’s
special about Brainoware is that researchers can take advantage of the organoid’s complexity without
understandingitscellnetworks,accordingtoDailyMail.Inotherwords,scientistsdon'tneedtoknowexactly
howtheorganoidworksinordertouseit.
According to the researchers’ work published in December, combining organoids and electronic chips
could increase the speed and efficiency of AI in the future. Also, such models can be used to study human
brains, according to Nature. Using Brainoware to model and study neurological disorders, such as
Alzheimer’s disease, is one example. It could also be used to test the effects of different treatments for such
diseases.“Thatis wherethepromiseis:usingthesetoonedayhopefullyreplaceanimalmodelsofthebrain,”

he would be able to walk normally—butwould never run very well. Consequently,the first three years of his
life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. Little as he was, he displayed great bravery and courage in the
