Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a technology that uses light emitted by enzyme-catalyzed reactions to report activity at the molecular level. Bioluminescent reporters require a small chemical ...

Bioluminescent imaging is different in that it is "excitation-free" -- the whole light emission process occurs on a chemical reaction level. Bioluminescence creates no background light response ...

A new paper published in the flagship journal Chem reports on a new series of bioluminescent proteins designed by Yeh and his group, which are small, efficient, highly stable, and can produce multiple ...

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 ...

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.
