A team of researchers have conducted a series of experiments showing that living things emit a very weak, but detectable packets of light. The signal is at the photonic level, according to a study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
The fact that experiments could measure this tiny amount of electromagnetic energy in both mice and plants — “in all living systems that have been examined,” according to the paper — remains notable. In order to do so, the researchers created a super-sensitive imaging system and camera to detect the small, weak light signals.
Photons are the smallest possible particle of light. The intensity of the photons the living things cast off was on the lower end; therefore they are called ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs).
The researchers wanted to see how the energy levels changed between living and dead subjects. They used it on both living and dead ...
