Bioluminescent creatures, including phytoplakton, squid, shrimp, and some fish are found throughout marine habitats, from the ocean surface to the deep sea floor. Today, the glimmering power of ...

And those light cells are where the magic happens: the phenomenon of bioluminescence, when a chemical reaction in a living thing emits light. Fireflies aren't the only creatures that have this power.

The deep-sea dragonfish is one of the most mysterious and fearsome creatures lurking in the ... ocean known as the midnight zone. From their bioluminescent blue light to their needle-like teeth ...

Typically, these creatures rely on echolocation to find ... Many species of zooplankton are bioluminescent, which means they can produce light through chemical reactions within their bodies.

Bioluminescence plays a big role in marine ecosystems. It helps us understand how different creatures adapt and interact. The energy used to make light is mostly without heat, showing how ...

Hundreds of thousands of bioluminescent dinoflagellates live in each gallon of bay water, and the light show put on by these tiny creatures provide is truly a (natural) wonder to behold.

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 ...
