[EN VIDÉO] Kezako: Could bioluminescence be used for everyday lighting? Some animals, plants and bacteria are capable of producing light. This…
From his memoir The domestication of plants » Written at the end of her studies, Sophie Hombert will draw a bright idea from it: lighting by plants under black light. For this, she has developed a serum, which is inspired by the bioluminescence of nature, such as fireflies for example, and which is absorbed by the plant to reveal the natural veins of the petals and leaves in reaction to UV. . A biodegradable and biosourced serum, “ eco-designed, without genetic modification and not harmful to the plant or the environment “, specifies the founder of the start-up Aglaé.
The principle of phosphorescence then makes it possible to illuminate the plant for several hours after exposure to light. It works for the moment with cut flowers, green plants in roots or stabilized and adapts to all climates. The injection is to be renewed approximately every three or four months. If for the moment Aglaé is aimed at the development and event sectors, its innovation could offer greener light sources, in particular to fight against light pollution in cities. A pilot experiment is also underway with Chartres Metropolis.
