Surprising new research findings suggest that we may emit a faint visible light, which disappears after death.

Researchers from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada conducted an experiment indicating that life does indeed produce biophotons.

An extraordinary experiment on mice and two different plant leaves provided direct physical evidence of a strange "biophoton" phenomenon stopping after death, suggesting that all living organisms—including humans—can truly emit healthy light until they stop glowing after death.

At first glance, these research results may seem somewhat fringe. It is difficult for people not to associate scientific studies of bioelectromagnetic radiation with debunked supernatural claims involving "auras" or "energy emissions" around living beings.

Moreover, even theoretically, the visible light wavelengths emitted by biological processes should be extremely weak and easily masked by strong electromagnetic waves and thermal radiation produced by human metabolism in the environment, making it challenging to accurately track radiation across the entire body.

Despite this, physicist Vahid Salari from the University of Calgary and his team claim to have observed this phenomenon—ultraweak photon emission (UPE) from several live animals in contrast to non-biological entities, with a few plant leaves also exhibiting this phenomenon.

The scientific principle behind biophotons itself stems from a controversial view. Various biological processes can clearly produce bright light in the form of chemiluminescence. For decades, spontaneous splashing of light waves with wavelengths between 200 and 1000 nanometers has been recorded from live cells ranging from bovine heart tissue to bacterial colonies in less obvious reactions.

A strong contender for this radiation source is the effect of various reactive oxygen species generated when living cells are under stress such as heat, toxins, pathogens, or nutrient deficiency.

For example, if there are enough hydrogen peroxide molecules, substances like fats and proteins will undergo transformations, causing their electrons to race at high speeds, releasing one or two suitably energetic photons when they return to their original positions.

If remote monitoring of stress in entire human or animal patient tissues, or even crops or bacterial samples, could be achieved, it would provide powerful non-invasive research or diagnostic tools for technicians and medical experts.

To determine whether this process could extend from isolated tissues to whole live bodies, researchers compared the weakest radiation emitted from live mice to dead mice using electron-multiplying charge-coupled devices and charge-coupled device cameras.

Four immobilized mice were placed individually in a dark box for one hour of imaging, then euthanized and imaged again for another hour. Even after the mice died, they were heated to body temperature to prevent heat from becoming a variable.

Researchers found that they could capture individual photons in the visible light spectrum emitted by mouse cells before and after death. The difference in the number of these photons was very noticeable, with a significant drop in UPE during the measurement period after euthanasia.

An experiment on Arabidopsis thaliana and Heptapleurum arboricola leaves yielded similarly remarkable results. By applying physical trauma and chemical stimuli to the plants, researchers obtained compelling evidence suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) might be the幕后mastermind behind the weak fluorescence phenomenon.

Researchers reported: "Our findings indicate that photons from injured areas of all leaves were significantly brighter than those from uninjured areas throughout the 16-hour imaging period."

This experiment sparked speculation: perhaps one day, the faintest ethereal photons emitted by stressed cells could tell us whether our bodies are healthy.

This experiment raised the possibility that one day, the weak fluorescence emitted by stressed cells might reveal whether our bodies are healthy.

This study was published in *The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters*.
