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 ...

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, ...

Scientists observed a radiant and intriguing physical phenomenon in mice and leaves that might suggest that all living things emit light until they die. At first glance, the proposition that every ...

Here’s an interesting question: are there optical communication channels in the brain? This may be a radical suggestion but one for which there is more than a little evidence to think it is worth ...

Did you ever have that feeling of a close connection with a person you just met? Can you sometimes sense the mood of another person without actually seeing them? It must be about qi or prana or auras ...

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 the foothills to the south of Rome sits Italy’s premier nuclear physics lab, the National Laboratory of Frascati. It has all the equipment you would expect at a cutting-edge science facility, with ...
