nature video published this video item, entitled “Spinning seeds inspire floating electronics – and monitor the atmosphere” – below is their description.
Spinning seeds falling from trees have inspired tiny electronic devices that float through the air. These ‘circuit chips with wings’ fall slowly and stably and can carry a whole host of electronic components such as sensors and antennae for wireless communication. They can be manufactured in large numbers and dropping them from a height would allow data collection over a wide area.
