New lighting technology nanotechnology plant lighting

In order to reduce the waste of raw materials and environmental pollution, scientists have introduced a new type of lighting technology that eliminates the need to separately lay power lines and erect lighting fixtures. Instead, the trees on both sides of the street provide light sources for the streets at night.

According to Dr. Su of Taiwan, gold nanoparticles injected into trees can induce the leaves of plants to emit red light; this kind of plant luminescence will not emit toxic chemicals such as phosphors compared to the more economical LED lighting currently available. . If this technology can be promoted, street lighting can not only save energy, but also increase the opportunities for plants to absorb carbon dioxide and help improve the urban living environment.
