Abstract:Light emission from living things is still at the centre of scientific interest. Ultra-weak photon emission (UPE) in the range from 300 to 900 nm has been discovered in living cells and organisms, including the human body. In general, so-called bio photons are attributed to life. Our recent studies on protonic p-n junction formation and light emission from electrically powered protonic p-n junction systems suggest, that UPE can be generated by excitations owing to proton current flow in living cells and sub-ce… Show more
