Life, for the most part, is bathed in light. The sun immerses the planet in energy that supports the vast majority of ecosystems that call Earth home. In a new study published in the journal iScience, ...

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 ...

In this narrow sense, biophotons are distinct from the broader field of biophotonics, which covers any interaction between light and living tissue, from laser surgery to fluorescence microscopy, but ...

Science has now confirmed that when we think in a certain way, we release biophotonic energy into blood, relaying information at phenomenal speed. In the first section we examine the generation of ...
