Nintendao Posted 20 hours ago Quote A glow linked to life Living organisms produce an extremely faint light, detectable only with ultrasensitive instruments. This UPE is believed to result from biochemical reactions involving oxygen-reactive species. In mice, researchers measured photon emission as long as the animals were alive, with detectable peaks in the paws and head. After death, this luminosity dropped by more than 90% within minutes, leaving only a weak residual signal around the previously active areas. For plants, precise tests revealed that physical injuries (such as cuts) or chemical damage (exposure to oxidizing agents) caused an immediate increase in light emission. Leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana showed intensities up to 3 times higher in damaged areas, with the signal persisting for nearly 16 hours after injury. These observations suggest a direct link between UPE [ultraweak photon emission] and cellular metabolism. Researchers used CCD and EMCCD cameras to capture these photons. The results indicate that UPE could serve as an indicator of vitality or physiological stress. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/discovery-living-beings-emit-a-light-that-fades-upon-death/ar-AA1Ft6BS?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=f735769c33344b5187cfa6020618dcfa&ei=83 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
