The Bioluminescence Project

The Bioluminescence Project studies natural light produced by living organisms, such as fireflies, certain fungi, and marine creatures. This process, called bioluminescence, occurs when specialized chemicals within these organisms produce light through chemical reactions. The project aims to understand how and why organisms produce light, explore potential applications in medicine, environmental monitoring, and sustainable lighting, and inspire new technologies mimicking these natural process. By studying bioluminescence, scientists hope to develop innovative, eco-friendly ways to harness and replicate this natural glow for practical uses.
