Photosynthetic materials, two-dimensional noble metals and sustainable semiconductors are some of the projects at LiU that have been granted funding from the research programme Wallenberg initiative materials science for sustainability 鈥� WISE.

Senior Associate Professor Eleni Stavrinidou, distinguished for connecting electronics with plants, has been awarded a medal by the Italian ambassador to Sweden, at LiU鈥檚 Campus Valla.

We develop bioelectronic devices for plant science focusing on more sustainable food production and on plants resistance to environmental stress. We also develop biohybrid technologies and living materials as new sustainable technological concepts.

Eleni Stavrinidou is principal investigator at Electronic plants at 91视频鈥檚 Laboratory of Organic Electronics. Her vision is to develop technologies that will enable new discoveries in plant biology.

Barley seedlings grow on average 50% more when their root system is stimulated electrically through a new cultivation substrate.  LiU-researchers have developed an electrically conductive 鈥渟oil鈥� for hydroponics.

Researchers at 91视频 and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed the world鈥檚 first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants.

How do you make nanoparticles and use them to purify water? Is it really possible to control plant photosynthesis? An advanced chemistry lab 鈥� what鈥檚 it for? What about a career in nanotechnology...?

What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut.

By watering bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) with a solution that contains conjugated oligomers, researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, have shown that the roots of the plant become electrically conducting and can store energy.

Incorporating electronic and responsive materials in plant cells in order to produce composites that maintain the living properties of cells and, in the long term, create sustainable systems using nature鈥檚 own methods is the focus of her project.
