The length of time a seed can remain viable is known as its lifespan or longevity. Seed longevity is a complicated property that varies significantly between species and even between species-specific seed lots. From anecdotal "Thumb Rules" to empirically based models, biophysical explanations for why those models sometimes work or fail, and the profound realization that seeds are the model of the underexplored realm of biology when water is so limited that the cytoplasm solidifies, our scientific understanding of seed longevity has advanced. Moisture and temperature, as well as the duration of a person's life, are crucial environmental variables that determine survival or demise. The mechanisms by which these factors influence glassy properties and cause cytoplasmic solidification are becoming better understood. The chemical reactions that go into aging are slowed down but not stopped by cytoplasmic solidification. The seed's metabolic capacity is reduced as a result of the continued degradation of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which eventually hampers the seed's ability to germinate.

A network of sensors can be set up in a particular area of interest and communicate with each other to give a complete picture of what's going on there. This is especially useful for monitoring the quality of the water because changes in the environment can have serious effects downstream. The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained popularity in recent years for a wide range of uses, including water quality monitoring. It is possible to continuously monitor the quality of water in real time using IoT devices like the Raspberry Pi and sensors that measure temperature, oxygen, and pH. Using programming languages like Python and Julia, this data can be gathered and analyzed to learn more about water management and make better decisions. A system with oxygen and temperature sensors, for instance, could be used to monitor a lake's or river's health. Potential problems like algal blooms or changes in the ecosystem can be identified by detecting changes in temperature and oxygen levels.

The Internet of things (IoT) adds a fascinating new dimension to field research by enabling researchers to access their data and insights at any time and from any location. As a result, physical and chemical measurements can now be taken on-site or in the laboratory with only a fraction of the effort required for manual data collection.
