Abu Dhabi: A team of researchers from the New York University Abu Dhabi’s (NYUAD) is studying the natural production of light, called bioluminescence, with the aim of helping others in the field direct their research about this fascinating phenomenon. The new study, ‘The Elusive Relationship Between Structure and Colour Emission in Beetle Luciferases’, has been led by Dr Pance Naumov, professor of Chemistry at the university’s Smart Materials Lab. It provides the most comprehensive critical overview to date of the field of bioluminescence in beetles, including fireflies, and has alrea...

Credit: NYU Abu Dhabi Fast facts: Bioluminescence is an energy-conserving process of natural production of cold light that many lower organisms use for communication, capturing prey, or mating. This wondrous phenomenon has long fascinated scientists and the public, but many details of the chemical reactions used to produce light remain unclear. For example, it remains uncertain why various beetle species can emit different colors of light, despite using very similar light-producing enzymes. Understanding the chemical reactions responsible for bioluminescence could lead to the development ...
