Unlike glow-in-the-dark paint, which requires external light exposure to charge, these plants generate their own light through natural metabolic processes.

Proper light placement is crucial to maintaining healthy plants. If lights are placed too far from the plants, they won’t receive enough energy for photosynthesis. On the other hand, placing grow ...

Light Bio's glow in the dark plant has become an internet sensation, but the company has more in the pipeline, from glowing roses to glowing bouquets.

Lettuce leaves basking in the red glow underneath a light-converting plastic film grew more than 20% larger than their counterparts in normal LED or sunlight (Nature Food 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s43016 ...

Imagine a world in which trees light up as the sun sets and houseplants glow like lamps. If new research pans out, that fanciful vision could become a reality — and lend new meaning to the term ...

An artist’s rendering illustrates the alien greenish glow researchers at Bioglow hope to achieve as they learn how to increase the light-emitting capabilities of genetically engineered plants ...

A group of scientists has created plants that glow in the dark using DNA from mushrooms that naturally give off light. We take a look at why they've done it and some of the other amazing creatures ...

Glowing Evidence of Life Ultraweak photon emission, or biophoton emission, refers to very faint light produced by all living organisms—from plants and bacteria to humans.

But plants also fluoresce, which means when they absorb ultraviolet light, they emit longer wavelengths visible to the human eye. It's the same thing that happens with a black-light poster.

Scientists from California have developed bacteria than can make plants glow-in-the dark. The doctors are hoping that luminescent trees could one day replace electric street lighting.

While the first several generations of plants might be weaker at emitting light, the long-term idea is to replace electric or gas lighting with natural lighting from plants.
