👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

In a scientific breakthrough, researchers have unveiled the hidden dialogue between plants.

These signals, emitted as volatile compounds when a plant is damaged, trigger calcium responses in nearby plants, effectively communicating danger.

This discovery sheds light on the sophisticated and unseen communication network in the plant kingdom. It opens up intriguing possibilities: how might this knowledge influence our agricultural practices or even reshape our understanding of plant communities?

This finding urges us to reconsider our perspective on plant life, recognizing them as active participants in their environment, communicating and responding in a complex, interconnected world.
