From June to October, the waters of the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River, and Indian River Lagoon come alive with bioluminescence.

How bioluminescence works in nature. Most ocean animals produce their own light or host bacteria that do—a useful skill for communication, finding prey, camouflage, and more.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The bioluminescent tide along San Diego's coastline is drawing its own share of onlookers on land, but also in the sea. In the video, a sea lion is seen jumping in and out of ...

Bioluminescence offers some of the most awe-inspiring natural displays, where night waters turn into shimmering light shows.

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.

New bioluminescence tool LUCAS detects viruses faster and more accurately, revolutionizing diagnostics with enhanced brightness and endurance.

Shafiee’s group has now developed an easy-to-use bioluminescent diagnostic test that can accurately detect several viruses in blood serum (Nat. Biomed. Eng. 2025, DOI: 10.1038/s41551-025-01405-9).

Compared to its diagnostic predecessors, LUCAS creates 500-fold stronger and eight-fold longer-lasting bioluminescence signals, overcoming longstanding challenges faced by point-of-care diagnostics.

Many marine organisms, such as certain species of jellyfish, fish, and squids, use bioluminescence. In squids, this light can serve various purposes, such as attack or defense. Detection of ...
