Researchers at ETH Zurich, a leading science and technology university in Switzerland, have developed an innovative glow-in-the-dark wood using bioluminescent fungi.

The fungi used, such as Armillaria mellea (commonly known as honey fungus), naturally emit a greenish glow in the dark.

By integrating the fungal mycelium into the wood’s structure, scientists created a hybrid material that glows without the need for external power sources like electricity or batteries.

The project is part of a broader movement in sustainable design and living architecture, where biological systems are incorporated into buildings and public infrastructure.

The wood-fungi composite remains biodegradable and renewable, making it a highly eco-friendly alternative to traditional lighting solutions.

It offers a soft, natural light ideal for pathways, parks, or residential streets, especially in places aiming to reduce energy consumption and light pollution.

This research showcases how biodesign could shape the future of urban environments, blending nature with modern needs.

Beyond aesthetics, it also holds practical value for off-grid areas, emergency lighting, and artistic applications in urban planning.

Of all the insects on Earth, fireflies are among the rare few that communicate using light.

Although commonly called flies, they’re actually beetles. Fireflies use their flashing light patterns much like humans use speech — to attract mates, signal their presence, and sometimes even to trick others.

This glow comes from a small organ called a lantern, located on the underside of their abdomen.

Inside, special cells known as photocytes trigger a chemical reaction that produces light without heat — a process known as bioluminescence.

The telescope fish (genus Gigantura) inhabits the midnight zone (bathypelagic zone) of the ocean, typically 1,000 to 4,000 meters deep.

Named for their telescopic, upward-facing tubular eyes, these fish are highly adapted for life in complete darkness. Their eyes help detect silhouettes of prey illuminated by faint overhead light or bioluminescence.

Telescope fish can grow up to 25 centimeters (about 10 inches) and have elongated, transparent bodies with reflective scales that reduce their visibility to predators.

They are ambush predators, often feeding on smaller fish and crustaceans.

These creatures are rarely seen due to the extreme depths they inhabit, and much of what we know comes from deep-sea trawling expeditions and ROV footage.

Australia has begun testing glow-in-the-dark road markings that use photoluminescent technology.

These markings absorb solar energy during the day and emit a visible glow at night, functioning similarly to glow sticks.

The goal is to enhance nighttime visibility, especially on rural roads without streetlights.

Key Facts:

The project is part of Victoria’s road safety trials supported by the Department of Transport and Planning.

These lines are coated with photoluminescent pigments that require no electricity, making them eco-friendly.

The trial aims to improve night driving safety, especially in foggy or low-light areas.

Similar trials have been seen in the Netherlands and Japan.
