    Sometime in the near future you and your plants may read together. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have developed a process that allows plants to glow for up to three and a half hours. :) Imagine trees as street lamps, a living night light or a lamp by your bed. The full story can be read here. The world of Avatar may be closer than you think.

    Just think of how bright your gardens would look like at night. Your neighbors may complain about not being able to sleep. LOL
