CAMBRIDGE, England, July 31, 2020 — No matter how small, organisms respond to their surrounding environment. A group of scientists at the University of Cambridge has shown that the light produced by ocean organisms is related to the stress their cells are under at the time. The team, led by professor Raymond Goldstein of the university’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, wanted to see how such organisms would respond to threats analogous to a predator or the pressure of a wave. The scientists modeled much of their research on work done by Michael Latz and his colleagues at the Scripps...Read full article

    bioluminescence
    Bioluminescence is the natural phenomenon where living organisms produce light through a chemical reaction. In the context of photonics, bioluminescence has significant implications for both research and practical applications. Photonics, which involves the study and application of light, intersects with bioluminescence in several ways: Light production mechanism: Bioluminescence occurs when the enzyme luciferase catalyzes the oxidation of the molecule luciferin in the presence of oxygen....
