In this latest edition of Serious News, we explore how glowing plants have been developed by MIT, using phosphors instead of enzymes to create a luminescent effect. The results have been illuminating, with 10x extra brightness achieved in just 5 years! The field of plant nanobionics appears to be taking off – all we can do is wait to see what they come up with next. • To read the study referenced in the video, click the link here: • https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abe9733 • Thank you to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for making research like this available to the public.
