Scientists Capture Images Showing Light Emitted in Life Quickly Fades After Death
- Living beings, including animals and plants, emit a faint light that extinguishes upon death, according to a new study.
- The study found a significant drop in ultraweak photon emission in mice after they were euthanized, and an increase in UPE intensity in plants when exposed to stress factors like temperature changes and injury.
- The researchers suggest that UPE imaging could be a non-invasive tool for biological research and clinical diagnostics to remotely monitor stress in living organisms.

A faint glow surrounds living beings. And disappears at death. Researchers have now captured this light figuratively. But what does it really say?
Reminds of Hokuspokus, but has been known for years: living beings have a kind of aura – a very weak, measurable light. Scientists have now studied it more closely in mice and plants.
Living beings surround a measurable light – which goes out when they die. This may also apply to humans. The light particles, called photons, arise in cell metabolism. With new imaging systems, they could now be made visible.
Observed in mice and leaves, it is linked to cell activity (ANSA)
