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 ...

In the world of bioluminescence, it’s common for organisms to get luciferin—the small molecule needed to make light—from their diet. Scientists have hypothesized that bioluminescent fish make their ...

The region is a hotspot for Noctiluca scintillans — a type of bioluminescent algae that appears red in the day and glows an extraordinary blue at night — which is experiencing its biggest ...
