Magicpen Bio, a company in Hefei, Anhui province, has engineered plants that glow in the dark by incorporating bioluminescent genes from fireflies.
It's like bringing the magical scenes from the film Avatar right into our world. They've already developed 10 glowing plant species, and some are already being produced at scale for commercial use.
