Researchers at the University of Calgary have discovered that living organisms, including mice and plants, emit weak light as part of their metabolism, which is detectable with specialized cameras. In a study published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, they found that living mice emit more photons than dead ones, suggesting a link between life and light emission. The research may lead to non-invasive methods for assessing the health of plants and human tissues, although the exact biochemical processes behind this phenomenon are still not fully understood.
