Get Ready for the Glowing Plants Craze
Soon, you'll be able to get one for your apartment. And in a couple of years, they could be used to light our streets.
Scientists have been engineering glow-in-the-dark plants since the 1980s. Soon, you might be able to use one to light your apartment.
At the end of January, St. Louis biotech company Bioglow will auction off its first commercial product, the Starlight Avatar. The plant has been genetically modified to glow by itself -- no electricity, UV light, or chemicals required. There will be 20 plants available, each starting at a minimum bid of $1.
