A study by researchers from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada suggests that living bodies, including humans, may emit a faint visible light called biophotons, which significantly diminishes upon death. Experiments on mice and plants showed that these ultraweak photon emissions are linked to cellular stress and reactive oxygen species, potentially offering a non-invasive way to monitor health and stress in living organisms.
