Researchers have designed a new single-photon emitter that generates, at room temperature, more of the high-quality photons that could be useful for quantum technologies, such as quantum computers, communications, and repeaters.

Researchers are working on using light-emitting plants, which debuted in 2017, as part of sunlight harvesting, water transport, and soil collecting and composting systems. The light-emitting plants are not genetically modified to produce light. Instead, they are infused with nanoparticles that turn the plant's stored energy into light, similar to how fireflies glow.

Researchers have used cells that behave normally on the outside but are filled with magnetic nanoparticles on the inside to screen potential drugs from natural products. The nanoparticles are coated with a biological cell membrane as a lure to fish out pharmacologically active compounds from plants and other natural organisms.

Researchers have developed an environmentally friendly, plant-based material that, for the first time, works better than Styrofoam for insulation. The foam is mostly made from nanocrystals of cellulose, the most abundant plant material on earth.
