The story of the Venus flytrap is interesting – and pretty important too
- Tuesday | 18th May, 2021
We ran the story about researchers controlling a Venus flytrap last week because, well, why wouldn’t you? Essentially the story was about communicating with the flytrap (which closes on its prey) as an experiment in producing ‘soft’ robots that can work with ultra-sensitive materials. One of the interesting parts of the story was not just that the researchers could give instructions to the flytrap but that the flytrap could communicate with the researchers. The story of the flytrap has a potential dark side, too. The story of a humble Venus flytrap might seem more curious and interesting than important, but it is the kind of story that might start revolutions down the track.
