About ten years ago, scientists began exploring an unconventional idea for studying the brain: using bioluminescent light to ...

Lantern sharks exhibit a remarkable adaptation to the deep‐sea environment through bioluminescence, a process by which specialised light‐emitting organs, or photophores, generate light. This intrinsic ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers ...

In order to defy climate change and the bark beetle, more deciduous trees are being planted in Swiss forests. If possible, their wood should be used several times before it ends up as firewood, thus ...

Animals that produce their own light source, through an internal chemical reaction, are one of the many wonders of nature – and something biotechnology scientists have been working hard to replicate ...

From Aristotle to Darwin, Humankind’s effort to understand bioluminescence spans thousands of years. Even though it’s one of the oldest fields of scientific study, answers remain elusive. In this ...

Iyvone Khoo and Dr. Michael Latz's "Infinity Cube" installation is shown at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla on April 4, 2017. Khoo and Latz have a related video work in an upcoming concert with the La ...

“Sweetings Pond is home to the largest known concentration of seahorses in the world and stands as one of the island’s most extraordinary natural treasures,” said The Cove Eleuthera — a local resort ...

Today we are hoping to see ostracods, seed-size bioluminescent crustaceans that emerge from shallow sea grass beds and coral reefs some 15 minutes after sunset to put on one of the most sophisticated ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity. We started thinking: 'What if we could light up the brain from the inside?

With the holidays coming to a close, here are some of nature's most stunning natural light shows we've been spoiled to ...
