Bioluminescent infrastructure is revolutionizing urban lighting by harnessing nature’s own light-producing mechanisms. By integrating biological luminescence into roads, bridges, and pathways, ...

This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence. Bioluminescent organisms produce and radiate light. There are thousands of bioluminescent ...

For generations, sailors around the globe have reported a mysterious phenomenon: Vast areas of the ocean glow steadily at ...

“In the past, we thought either the fish made both of the components of bioluminescence themselves or just one of the components, but this is an example of them making neither of them ...

Imagine wandering through a dark, silent forest at midnight, when suddenly, the ground beneath your feet begins to shimmer ...

Bioluminescence produces light via a chemical ... Prescher’s “RNA lantern” is one example of a probe that uses new, brighter luciferases. The technology, which was described in a paper ...

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 ...

It can sometimes be seen in warm, shallow bays or lagoons, but some bioluminescent algae can produce toxins harmful to marine life and humans ...

Milky seas are a rare bioluminescent phenomenon where vast areas of the ocean glow at night, sometimes for months. This glow, likely caused by Vibrio harveyi bacteria, has been reported by sailors for ...
