From the depths of the ocean to the forest floor at night, some animals can do something that seems almost magical: they make ...

Ecologists have observed a species of nocturnal spider attracting prey to its web using the bioluminescent beacons of already trapped fireflies. This rare example of a predator exploiting its prey’s ...

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

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. This intrinsic ...

This image shows the cortical neurons of a lab mouse bioluminescing while the mouse runs on a wheel. The large, dark tube-like structures are blood vessels. PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A ...
