Bioluminescent Bacteria Painting

Genetically engineered E. coli bacteria are used as paints for bio art.

 

Scientists added DNA from bioluminescent jelly fish to E. coli and cause the bacteria to grow a protein that can absorb and transfer a specific wavelength of UV light to visible light.

Deforestation

Since the industrial revolution, the forest area on Earth's surface has decreased significantly. NASA has released satellite images that reveal deforestation in the past few decades.

 

Deforestation is not easily visible from air-conditioned office buildings, but critical if we look into it.

 

 Use a UV light to see deforestation since 2000.
