> Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing organs and tissues for transplant, or lab-grown meat.

Imagine how our daily infrastructures would change if direct sunlight would be accessible as energy through our living cells. What would such change do to our lifestyles? To our cities and architecture?
