🌌 Can quantum mechanics explain ultraweak UV photon emissions in biological systems?
This study applies open quantum systems theory to investigate ultraweak ultraviolet (UV) photon emissions—faint light signals observed in biological processes.

The dye in Doritos can make mice transparent
'It’s not magic, but it’s still very powerful.'
A food dye that helps give certain sodas and snacks their hallmark orange hue renders mouse skin almost completely see-through in a reversible, potentially non-toxic research method that could transform medical and scientific imaging. Because of a counterintuitive fundamental physics principle, Tartrazine, also known as Yellow 5, can temporarily turn biological tissue transparent to the naked eye, as described in a study published September 5 in the journal Science.
Uh, don't try this at home...
Very excited to say that we released the latest #PhysExe video yesterday. Prof. Julian Moger, chair of #biophotonics at the department of #Physics and #Astronomy at @UniOfExeter very kindly took some time out from his busy schedule to talk to me about his contributions to a really exciting piece of #Interdisciplinary #research work on #microplastics. Collaborating with #marine #biologists, the team using #laser pulses to image microplastics in marine organisms.
Next generation of SWIR emitting probes for bioimaging:
Together with the Institute for Advanced Biosciences (IAB), Grenoble, France we develop new contrast agents for short-wave infrared imaging for the visualization + optical imaging of tissue structures in the body.

“To expand the repertoire of endogenous cellular communication, we developed a synthetic, photon-assisted synaptic transmission (PhAST) system. PhAST is based on luciferases and channelrhodopsins that enable the transmission of a neuronal state across space, using photons as neurotransmitters.”

What a fun project and cool finding, and made in #Catalunya to top it off at the Photonic Science Institute.
Combine that with #photopharmacology and neural circuits may be able to dose themselves according to activity patterns.
