      Chinese scientists have developed genetically engineered plants that glow in the dark by inserting bioluminescent genes from fireflies and fungi, allowing them to emit light without electricity. With over 20 plant species already modified, researchers suggest these could be used for urban lighting, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. This raises important future questions: could living infrastructure replace traditional lighting systems, and what are the environmental, ethical, and scalability challenges of integrating genetically modified organisms into everyday urban life?

      Sounds awesome but what I’ve seen of bioluminescence is that it’s not very much light. I don’t see how this could possibly replace things like streetlights.

      It’s kinda like trying to light a city with glow in the dark stickers. At least they’re environmentally-friendly. And maybe we need dimmer cities.

      Avatar as in the Last Airbender, or Avatar the Native American blue aliens?

      Edit: or Avatar as in Krishna the incarnation of Vishnu and supreme diety of many forms of Hinduism?
