Power to the Trees!!

You can conduct electricity with a key attached to a kite during a storm, but have you ever heard of it coming from trees? A team of MIT researchers discovered that you can use platinum electrodes and ficus plants to make electric currents. This is possible because of the pH difference between the soil and living tree. What an exciting new way to make electricity. Now they are deciding how to use this for human benefit.
