Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

Lanternfishes have light-producing organs on their bodies that are called photophores. This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence.

“This is the most comprehensive scientific publication on the distribution of fish bioluminescence ever written, and the authors show that bioluminescence evolved way more times independently than ...

The “awful grandeur” the nineteenth-century sailor described - which made him think the end was nigh - we now know to be a form of bioluminescence: light emitted by living organisms during ...

Bioluminescence, the natural phenomenon where living organisms emit light, has captivated scientists and designers alike. From fireflies to deep-sea creatures, its biochemical process is now ...

Look at this stunning electric blue bioluminescent plankton caught on camera off the Welsh coast. Filmed by Andrew Rees at Dunraven Bay, Vale of Glamorgan, bioluminescence is light emitted by ...
