- Researchers successfully sustained bioluminescence in algae using chemical solutions, achieving up to 25 minutes of glow.
- The algae were embedded in hydrogel and 3D printed into structures, retaining brightness for weeks and enabling potential applications in robotics and sensors.
- This technology offers environmental benefits by storing carbon during light production, contrasting with carbon-emitting conventional lighting.
