This paper develops a chemical stimulation method to sustain bioluminescence in living materials made from Pyrocystis lunula, enabling long-term, responsive light emission.

This paper demonstrates how to engineer bacterial cells into different shapes to control their light-focusing behavior, creating microlenses with enhanced optical properties.

The paper engineers bacteria to produce bioglass coatings that focus light more intensely than unmodified bacteria.
