We might be seeing some AMAZING new plants around airports and malls soon...
Bomb sniffing dogs could have some competition soon - bomb sniffing PLANTS! Chances are we’ll see them blooming in airports, malls and embassies within the next few years. Researchers at Colorado State University have been successful at manipulating a breed of plant which actually changes color from green to white when it detects pollutants or even trace amounts of specific hazards in the air. Right now – it takes a few hours for the leaves to change colors – but scientists are confident they can speed that process up – maybe even to a few seconds!
