Scientists at MIT have used specialized nanoparticles to create light-emitting plants. The engineers then used an LED to charge the particles embedded in the plant's leaves. An LED light charges the particles for ten seconds and then the plant can emit light for up to several minutes, TheBrighterSide reports.
Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT and the senior author on the new study, told TheBrighterSide that the group wanted to create light-emitting plants that can absorb light, store it, and then emit it slowly. If perfected, it could allow for plant-based lighting to become a reality in homes and businesses around the world.
