murve33 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Was reading some random magazine about lights and LEDs at work a couple months ago, and I saw a short article about Bioluminescence. Apparently they want to take Firefly DNA and make plants glow. Los Links!

murve33 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 You wouldn't even need to pay for lights anymore. You'd buy a couple glowing houseplants and you'd be set. I also just remembered that they're developing walls that are made of tiny LEDs, so you wouldn't have light coming from a single source. Obviously not affordable right now, but that would be so amazing.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) this is a very interesting idea, but far from being explored. i want to see how we will be able to control the amount of light that the plants are giving at a certain time..

delet... Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 That's the problem, the amount is fuck all. We're better off have stored charge and emitting like through those oled walls etc. Morphing nanomachines rather than soon to be inefficient biological systems.

That's what I've been thinking. I think right now the only practical use would be having glowing houseplants in your home (You could put a cover over them if you want them "off"), or having a glowing Christmas tree during the holidays. Street lights is a little far-fetched, but it could possibly happen in the semi-near future. If this technology actually took off.

If this technology actually took off. so i guess we can say that, at the moment, these plants would serve no more than DECORATION purposes only. street light are in fact very powerful and consume a lot of energy, so i think it's kind of utopic, if you ask me.

murve33 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I meant the houseplants could be used as a light source, and decoration too. Street lights emit a lot of light, I guess I don't know how much light these trees are capable of emitting. If they are capable of producing a lot of light, I suppose using them as streetlights isn't that far-fetched. I'm sure it would decrease light pollution a lot too. Yes, definitely Utopian.
