Leaves sensitivity

Hello there!

This time around, the leaves are about to change its color. Based on our weather, we might not experience the color changing phenomena except the when leaves are dying. But through technology, now we can have that experience. A designer from Japan had  designated and invented a paper leaf that are sensitive to temperature change.

 At room temperature 20 Celsius - 25 Celsius, the color remain green and temperature below that point will turn the leaf brown. For the temperature above the stated point, it will turn the leaf yellow. While at the back of the leaf, it includes an adhesive to stick the surface and eventually we can use it as our thermometer. You should grab one especially for those who like to keep green environment . By the way, it's available in two set, 5 large leaves ( 2.6" x 6.6" ) or 8 small leaves ( 1.7" x 4.4" ), Isn't it cool ??

  1. This is totally suitable for green house project. I mean if we want to maintain the temperature, we could use this paper leaf instead of any temperature detector devices. On the contrary, i don't think this technology is suitable for air-conditioned room. Am i right?

  2. Amazing! This is cool but how is it useful? I mean if it were used in Malaysia, it would just be a yellow colour.
    I think for the fun of science this is cool but as a thermometer, this is not an accurate measure.

    Good post^^
