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.

The Olympus LV200 Luminoview has been optimized for collecting the faint light associated with bioluminescence, providing consistent cellular-level clarity. The path from the object to the camera ...

More bioluminescence may be seen in Kāpiti after a spectacular light show on Paraparaumu beach on Tuesday night. Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that takes place within some organisms ...

“This rare natural phenomenon has captured the attention of millions and has taken over social media—with videos under the hashtag #bioluminescence on TikTok and over 100,000 photos under the ...

In the world of bioluminescence, it’s common for organisms to get luciferin—the small molecule needed to make light—from their diet. Scientists have hypothesized that bioluminescent fish make their ...

So far, enthusiasts shared photos of the bioluminescence from several hotspots including Newport Beach, San Clemente, Playa ...

After the sun sets, the bioluminescent show on Tomales Bay begins. “Is it happening?” I asked. I looked over my shoulder at my friend and kayak co-pilot, Liz, who had stopped paddling and was leaning ...

While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins, the limited availability of color variants has made it difficult to observe multiple targets simultaneously.

Light is a primary driver of visual evolution in shrimp, according to new FIU research published this week in Nature Communications. The deep sea is a dark place, with the only light coming from ...
