Abstract
Environmental Preservation
In article number 2403582, Stefano Mariani, Barbara Mazzolai, and co-workers design and realize a seed-inspired flier for environmental preservation, utilizing 3D-printed biodegradable polymers. This artificial flier mimics the structure and function of a Tragopogon pratensis fruit, providing a means for colorimetric monitoring of pH and nitrate levels in the soil and serving as a potential carrier for aerial seeding.
