The light fantastic: Harnessing Nature's glow
Bioluminescence describes the light that some living creatures such as
fireflies and jellyfish emit from their cells. Harnessing these
reactions has already transformed key areas of clinical diagnosis and
medical research.
But scientists are now looking at whether
this "living light" could help enhance food crops, detect pollution or
even illuminate our journeys home.
