Researchers have achieved a scientific breakthrough by creating plants that shine in multiple colors. By injecting special light-emitting compounds into various plant species, the team successfully developed multicolor luminescent plants. These plants can now emit vibrant hues, all powered through simple sunlight exposure.
How Do These Plants Glow?
Scientists used a unique method that introduces compounds capable of glowing when charged by sunlight. The process does not harm the plants and does not require any external power source. Instead, the natural process of photosynthesis charges these compounds, making the plants light up in a range of colors.
Potential Applications
These luminescent plants could transform the way we think about indoor and outdoor lighting. Imagine gardens, parks, or city landscapes glowing with natural plant light. This innovation may also pave the way for sustainable lighting solutions that reduce electricity consumption and add a stunning visual element to green spaces.
