Chinese Scientists Create Bright, Multi-Colored Glowing Plants

Never to be outshone — literally, in this case — Chinese scientists have one-upped American researchers and their bioluminescent petunias with what they're calling world's first multi-colored glowing plants. As the journal Nature reports, this glow-in-the-dark succulent hails from the South China Agricultural University (SCAU) in Guangzhou, where materials researchers have developed a technology that recharges the plants via sunlight and makes them as bright as a night-light and with many of th

Glow-in-the-Dark Succulents Could Be the Future of Ambient Lighting

Glowing plants are pleasant to look at. Turns out, a simple method for loading glow-in-the-dark particles onto succulent leaves can make these plants prettier—and more useful. In a Matter paper published today, researchers showcase glow-in-the-dark succulents—popular plant buddies—that recharge using sunlight. For years, scientists and engineers have dreamed of harnessing glowing greenery for sustainable lighting, but most attempts, typically through genetic engineering, have achieved limited s
