"We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights."

Scientists have created rechargeable, multicolored, glow-in-the-dark succulent plants

Chinese researchers have made what they say are the first multicolored and brightest-ever luminescent plants.

Glowing plants could become living energy-free light sources

In nature, many organisms glow in the dark, including lightning bugs, some squid and jellyfish, using light to attract a mate or lure prey. Now, researchers have engineered glowing succulents, plants that recharge in sunlight and shine bright at night, an early step toward living, energy-free light sources. The study team, led by Shuting Liu, […]

"Scientists Create Avatar Glowing Plants": Chinese Team Injects Phosphorescent Particles Into Succulents That Shine 2 Hours After Sunlight - Sustainability Times

IN A NUTSHELL 🌟 Researchers have created bioluminescent plants that mimic the glowing flora of Avatar. 🔬 The innovation involves injecting phosphorescent particles into plant leaves, avoiding genetic modification. 🌵 Succulents are ideal due to their structure, allowing even light distribution and long-lasting glow. 💡 This sustainable lighting solution could transform urban landscapes and reduce [...]
