One of the world's most magical places is this bioluminescent beach in the Maldives that shines brightly at night if you're ...

As far as beach trips go, a Maldives vacation has it all—heavenly views, uncrowded beaches, a year-round tropical climate ...

But for travelers, it’s the beauty. Bioluminescent bays are found all over the world, from the Maldives to Japan, viewed best from a dark beach at least two hours after sunset, during the new ...

I write about the world of biology. The discovery of bioluminescent sand on a San Diego beach just a few days ago has reignited public fascination with the stunning natural phenomenon. The ...

This light is created by a chemical reaction, and it is one example of a phenomenon called bioluminescence. Bioluminescent organisms produce and radiate light. There are thousands of bioluminescent ...

While bioluminescent proteins offer several advantages over fluorescent proteins, the limited availability of color variants has made it difficult to observe multiple targets simultaneously.

In the world of bioluminescence, it’s common for organisms to get luciferin—the small molecule needed to make light—from their diet. Scientists have hypothesized that bioluminescent fish make their ...
