Ambio, bacterial lamp by Teresa van Dongen: http://www.teresavandongen.com/
In the muddy soil of rivers and lakes one can find micro-organisms that continuously excrete electrons in their metabolism. Teresa van Dongen explores these specific bacteria as a means to generate electricity for domestic use.

Can Organisms Sense via Radio Frequency? - A team of UC San Diego researchers awarded grant to find out: https://www.scripps.ucsd.edu/news/can-organisms-sense-radio-frequency
DARPA to brief industry on RadioBio program to communicate biologically using radio waves: https://www.militaryaerospace.com/rf-analog/article/16726429/darpa-to-brief-industry-on-radiobio-program-to-communicate-biologically-using-radio-waves
“Researchers in Europe were able to demonstrate that biological cells produce RF in the gigahertz range, which is what your radio or your cellphone works at,” said UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine biologist Dimitri Deheyn, the project’s lead investigator. “Those discoveries were made in cells that are cultured in petri dishes, and so the big question that the RadioBio program wants to assess and that we will try to answer through this grant is: Are such frequencies biologically relevant? Can we measure them from organisms?”

The cost, size and capabilities of sensors keep dropping dramatically. Deploying & running city-scale sensor-networks now requires just a small group of motivated citizens. A trend i like to call "Sense and Sensibility".

I'm really not a fan of this. Much could be said why, but in essence it lacks very basic respect for plants & nature.
