Soft devices--powered by 'stressed' algae -- glow in the dark when squished or stretched

Researchers have developed soft devices containing algae that glow in the dark when experiencing mechanical stress, such as being squished, stretched, twisted or bent. The devices do not need electronics to produce light, making them useful for building soft robots that explore the deep sea and other dark environments.
