I write about the world of biology. The discovery of bioluminescent sand on a San Diego beach just a few days ago has reignited public fascination with the stunning natural phenomenon. The ...

What does it mean if a creature is bioluminescent? Bioluminescence is light produced by an organism using a chemical reaction ...

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 ...

A bioluminescent algae that appears pinkish-red in the day and glows blue when disturbed has appeared across Tasmania's south-eastern coastline. Dr Lisa-ann Gershwin, a biologist and world-leading ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. I'm an award-winning travel writer/podcaster; been to 100+ countries. Bioluminescence does not require any source of external light, like ...
