A future where plants light up the world might be here sooner than you expect – MIT students recently engineered plants that produce light from their stored energy.
Ambient plant illumination could light the way for greener buildings
Buildings of the future may be lit by collections of glowing plants and designed around an infrastructure of sunlight harvesting, water transport, and soil collecting and composting systems. That’s the vision behind an interdisciplinary collaboration between an MIT architecture professor and a pro... Read more
Glowing plants can be the perfect green energy solution by offering free light energy. Plus, more plants in the environment would mean lower levels of carbon in the atmosphere.
Glow-in-the-dark plants put green energy in a whole new light
Besides plants, there are so many other bioluminescent animal and fungi species whose light could be potentially harnessed.

Imagine houses and buildings being lit up by plants instead of artificial lights – this would be so cool!
