Hundreds of plants, fungi, and animals can do it. Now scientists think bioluminescence may have evolved 540 million years ago in Earth’s ancient oceans. Research suggests that bioluminescence ...

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 ...

Many marine organisms–including sea worms, some jellyfish, sea pickles, and more–can emit ethereal glow through a process called bioluminescence. The evolutionary origins of this light ...

Bioluminescence first evolved in animals at least 540 million years ago in a group of marine invertebrates called octocorals, according to the results of a new study from scientists with the ...

Bioluminescence, a chemical reaction most commonly seen in marine organisms, causes light to emit from living things. When these organisms are moved by waves or the paddle of a kayak or canoe ...

Bioluminescence is elusive — at least on the Treasure Coast. The mesmerizing glow created by living things generating their own light in water occurs across the world, said bioluminescence ...

Bioluminescence -- the ability of living things to produce light via chemical reactions -- has independently evolved at least 94 times in nature and is involved in a huge range of behaviors ...

August is a great month to seek out marine bioluminescence, which — when visible — glows in a blueish-green spatter throughout sheltered areas of Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Here's a quick ...

Say it with me, slowly: bioluminescence. Surely a word that’s knocked the best of us out of an elementary school spelling bee. But luckily, bioluminescence is much easier to see than it is to ...
