Every living thing on Earth appears to carry a hidden shimmer, a vanishingly faint light that is woven into the chemistry of life itself. That glow is so weak that our eyes will never see it unaided, ...

Life, in its quietest moments, glows gently—so subtly that it’s invisible to your eyes but bright enough for science to detect. Recently, researchers from the University of Calgary and the National ...

The human body has long been studied through the lens of chemistry and electrical signaling, but an emerging field of research is adding a fascinating new dimension: light. Scientists have discovered ...

All living organisms emit a low level of light radiation, but the origin and function of these 'biophotons' are not yet fully understood. An international team of physicists, funded by the ...

Human beings hold higher intelligence than other animals on Earth; however, it is still unclear which brain properties might explain the underlying mechanisms. The brain is a major energy-consuming ...

Biological physics is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles and techniques of physics to elucidate the structure, dynamics and emergent properties of living systems. It spans a vast ...
