Plants are buzzing with bioelectricity. Inside every cell, ions flow across membranes which create tiny voltage changes which are called action potential. They’re key to how plants sense and respond to their environment. We can listen to this electricity with @plantwave! The device uses electrodes to detect microvolt changes and translate it into plant music. #plants #botany #nature #houseplant #science | The Nature Educator

Fungi appear so still, but they’re buzzing with bioelectricity! @plantwave detects this energy with electrodes and translates it into music! Bioelectricity is produced when ions move in and out of cells. These natural voltage changes shift with things like moisture, temperature, and touch! PlantWave converts this into music, creating a sonification of the fungus’s bioelectrical activity! #fungi #fungus #nature #mushroom | The Nature Educator
