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.

In the aftermath of the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Japan constructed a massive 395-kilometer tsunami seawall along its northeastern coast. Rising up to 12.5 meters (41 feet) high in some sections, this wall is engineered to shield towns and cities from future tsunamis and rising sea levels.

But Japan didn’t stop at concrete. In an effort to harmonize resilience with ecology, nearly 9 million coastal trees were planted behind the barrier, creating a dual-layered defense system. While the wall absorbs the brunt of a wave’s impact, the trees help mitigate erosion, trap debris, and slow down any remaining surge.

Critics have debated the aesthetics and environmental trade-offs, but supporters argue it's a crucial investment in disaster prevention—protecting lives, infrastructure, and communities for generations to come.

The line between "casually perched poolside" and "unwanted aquatic entrance" is approximately two inches wide. Currently navigating this architectural tightrope while pretending this precarious position was an aesthetic choice. #bikini #PrecariousAesthetics #PoolsideTightrope
