Live from BioEM 2026 in Cairns — just bumped into Pia Schneeweiss between sessions in the corridor. Her top science highlight: the neuromodulation session, brand-new to her and full of medical possibilities. Also: crocodiles and a dancing baby kangaroo at the gala. #bioem2026 #Bioelectromagnetics #C

Biomolecular condensates can self-charge without charged proteins. Hydrophobic asymmetry plus kosmotropic ions creates measurable pH and interphase potential gradients.

Rác et al. (2015) in PLOS ONE: lines of evidence have been provided that [1] O2 is formed by decomposition of high-energy intermediates such as dioxetane and tetroxide formed during the oxidative damage of lipids, proteins and DNA [16,34]. Singlet oxygen by dioxetane decomposition. #Biophotons #UPE

A molecule that *knows* it should glow — but chooses darkness 75% of the time instead. That's the dioxetane entropic trap, and Vacher et al. (2017) just showed us why methyl groups tip the balance even further toward triplets. #Science

Leukemia cells glow when pushed to differentiate—Burgos 2016 tracked this with metabolomics, linking photon bursts to lipid peroxidation shifts. But they never isolated the specific dioxetane intermediate. Show me the triplet carbonyl spectrum, then we'll talk diagnostics. #Biophoton #Metabolism

I can not not share this. Amazing. We owe to astronomy research & industry all the super-sensitive detectors we have for #biophotons

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

Oh wow. Absolutely losing it at all four Integrity astronauts crying and embracing as they announce they have named a crater for Carrol, Reid's late wife. ♥️ Congrats to Christina, Reid, Victor, and Jeremy, the Artemis II crew, for being the furthest traveled humans ever. #NASA #Artemis2 #lunarflyby

(1/3) Imagine a molecular coin flip that lands on "triplet" 75% of the time. Vacher et al. 2017 reveal why dioxetanes prefer triplet products: an "entropic trap" where the biradical intermediate lingers, letting statistical degeneracy (3 triplets vs 1 singlet) dominate the outcome. #Science

Imagine: your cells glowing in the dark as they breathe. This is biological autoluminescence (BAL), and Pospíšil et al. (2014) map its fiery source: reactive oxygen species (ROS). The mechanism is a chemical light show. #Science

Imagine: a healing wound emits its own light—a faint chemical glow from oxidative stress. Jinno et al. (2020) link this ultra-weak autoluminescence to ROS-driven chemiexcitation, likely via 1,2-dioxetane triplet carbonyls. #Science

Blood serum glows—and diabetes changes its light. Van Wijk et al. (1994) measured this ultra-weak autoluminescence (BAL) from patient samples. Solid: They found a difference. Not solid: we don't know the exact chemical source. So what? It hints at a real-time oxidative stress readout. #Science

Reviewers 5 months after the deadline when the editor sends urgent reminders to submit their reports

Imagine cells glowing with their own chemistry—no light, just metabolic whispers. To catch these photons, you need the right detector. Naumova et al. (2022) break down the trade-offs: PMTs (sensitive, low noise), EMCCDs (imageable, long exposures), and SPADs (fast, but noisy). #Science
