Scientists in China have created rainbow, glow-in-the-dark succulents by injecting colorful "afterglow" particles into the leaves that absorb, and then gradually release, light.
The luminescent succulents shone for up to two hours, outperforming similar, material-engineered plants, according to a new study. The invention paves the way for sustainable, plant-based lighting to illuminate outdoor and indoor spaces, researchers said.
