CLEAR SOIL COULD IMPROVE CROPS
Can crops actually improve with just adding artificial clear soil?
If you answered with yes, your correct!
Artificial soil-like materials have beed developed to help scientists image the secret world of the plants roots. The view could help biologists, chemists and physicists improve crops and identify ways to prevent the outbreak of plant based diseases.
The clear soil was developed by theoretical biologist Lionel Dupuy, the the James Hutton Institution in Dundee Scotland. It's made of a synthetic material know as 'Nafion'. This material can be modified to mimic (to copy) the chemistry of the natural soil. Its not see through first, but when water is added, the particles bend light, making it clear.
