Meanwhile, other organisms, such as certain jellyfish and worms, deploy bioluminescence as a defense mechanism, releasing glowing particles to confuse and deter predators. Certain species of squid ...

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 ...

The lush forests of Switzerland are not the first place that bioluminescent organisms come to mind. However, a forest in a ...

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.

Glowing mushrooms are often associated with tropical environments, but they can also be found in Switzerland. In fact, Zurich ...

By chance, two Zurich-based artists have discovered the bioluminescence of a mushroom. Together with a mycologist from the ...

however its specific mechanisms and interactions within the body had been poorly understood. "We used bioluminescence technology, a scientific method harnessing the natural light produced by ...

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 ...

The temperature inside glowworm caves is much colder than outside, so bundle up in warm and waterproof clothes. While most ...

It is caused by bioluminescent plankton ... The reason they do that is a predator avoidance mechanism," he explained, adding it would either startle the predator or potentially light it enough ...
