United KingdomIn 2025, quantum physicist Daniel Oblak and his team captured images of mice emitting a faint glow using a sensitive camera, revealing biophotons—ultraweak photons emitted by living cells. These emissions originate from cellular metabolic processes, particularly within mitochondria. When the mice were alive, the glow was visible in the images, but it disappeared when the mice were dead, suggesting a connection between life and these emissions. While the phenomenon has been studied for over a century, recent advancements in imaging technology have brought renewed interest to the field. Researchers hope that biophotons could serve as indicators of health or disease, and potentially reveal new insights into cellular communication. Scientists like Michal Cifra and Nick Lane acknowledge the potential significance of the research while noting that the field remains on the edge of gaining broader scientific acceptance.
