LINKÖPING, Sweden — Scientists have developed an innovative "electronic soil" that significantly boosts crop growth, with barley seedlings growing 50 percent more when their roots receive electrical stimulation through this "eSoil" layer. This breakthrough, spearheaded by researchers from Linköping University in Sweden, focuses on soilless cultivation, commonly known as hydroponics.
