Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been able to induce plants to produce a dim light for about four hours, the result of injecting an enzyme into the plants causing them to glow. They believe this could be a solution to street lighting and possibly even become bright enough to serve as indoor lighting.
