And the cool thing about fluorescence is that it's not only bright, it actually can shine through tissue.

It don't glitter. I thought it would.

A lush, fresh lipped blond, skin glowing gold, sprawls there, resplendent.

Her diamond is sparkling under the light.

It's got light organs on its belly that are flashing, fin lights.

The light that the fluorescence emits can go through tissue.

And by night, artificial light in each one emanates and comes out to the outside.

And there are brittle stars that produce bands of light that dance along their arms.

Doubt thou the stars are fire,

A light bulb gives light.

Isn't she radiant?

It's shiny.

(c) Photo neutron interrogation photo induced neutron emission occurs when the energy of an incoming photon (X ray or gamma ray) is above a certain threshold and atoms of low atomic weight undergo photonuclear reactions that emit neutrons.

This is a Christmas tree of a fish everything on this fish lights up, it's not just that lure.

There are starfish that can make light.

House numbers that light up.

Nice, fresh 50 gold piece.

To drink the blood of samurai.

We make things glow.

With the sub's lights switched off, it is possible to see their bioluminescence the light produced when they collide with the mesh.

Why, I can see your name in lights, lights six feet high.

Polymeric light emitting diodes (LEDs) have already achieved performance figures comparable to inorganic LEDs.

Button Glow Colors

And that sudden brightness coming, do you see it, Nazarius?

Rainbows are shinin ' through

In the deep, dark ocean, many sea creatures make their own light for hunting, mating and self defense. Bioluminescence expert Edith Widder was one of the first to film this glimmering world. At TED2011, she brings some of her glowing friends onstage, and shows more astonishing footage of glowing undersea life.

Two eyes shining in the dark.

Now, every LED that is made these days gives blue light.

And it would be self illuminated, because now the Sun's gone, we have no other source of light so let's make our little Earth self illuminated.

What was actually interesting to us was not that the bacteria made light, but when the bacteria made light.

They flash, and sparkle, and glow with their own living light.

I made her shine.

Something's shining down there.

And when it starts flashing, it's just going to be one of the LEDs that's flashing very fast.

It's a green saber of light.

This bacterium has the special property that it makes light, so it makes bioluminescence, like fireflies make light.

Aggregation induced luminescence is an original concept firstly proposed by Chinese scientists and opens up a new area of luminescent materials.

The moon doesn't have light of its own.

This is going to be a glowing source first, which is like bioluminescent bacteria.

The light organs under the eyes are flashing.

Most importantly for this, they're faster.

Don't you worry, that your trees will grow right up into the sky? No, never.

And the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair.

The light could have come from there. It's possible.

One can see it clearly with the luminous numbers.
