- Scientists created glow-in-the-dark succulents using afterglow phosphor particles.
- The succulents can shine in multiple colors and recharge with sunlight.
- The technique avoids genetic modification, making it cheaper and faster than previous methods.
- Succulents were chosen for their leaf structure, which disperses particles effectively.
- The glowing effect lasts up to two hours after light exposure.
- Potential applications include sustainable outdoor lighting and indoor decor.
- Long-term safety and effectiveness on other plant types are still under study.
