i've been mixing flesh, wax, chemicals and dyes for months to obtain these images

Tasmania’s enigmatic Eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) is an outsized predator whose bite strength is amongst the strongest on earth. They also glow sometimes.

I believe this is the first biofluorescence documented in the species in a wild setting, or at the very least would be amongst the clearest imagery. What a surreal experience to have a small group of them hang out for hours.

I LOVE FLUORESCENCE !!!!!!!!

(kunzite yum i wanna chew on it like an ice cube)

Are there any frogs that glow in the dark?

Not to my knowledge, no. There are plenty of frogs that fluoresce under specific wavelengths of light, but no true phosphorescence that is implied by 'glow in the dark'.

UV reactive Cortinarius sp. from 2019. We tried to identify it but I'm not sure if we correctly identified it or if we ever will. I think the future of mycology texts is to include more notes on UV reactivity/fluorescence, which will definitely help!

A new milestone has been set for levitated optomechanics as Prof. Tongcang Li's group observed the Berry phase of electron spins in nano-sized diamonds levitated in vacuum. Physicists at Purdue are throwing the world's smallest disco party. The disco ball itself is a fluorescent nanodiamond, which they have levitated and spun at incredibly high speeds. The fluorescent diamond emits and scatters multicolor lights in different directions as it rotates. The party continues as they study the effects of fast rotation on the spin qubits within their system and are able to observe the Berry phase. The team, led by Tongcang Li, professor of Physics and Astronomy and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, published their results in Nature Communications. Reviewers of the publication described this work as "arguably a groundbreaking moment for the study of rotating quantum systems and levitodynamics" and "a new milestone for the levitated optomechanics community."

Salvia mellifera, black sage, is a perennial shrub in the mint/sage family native from central California down through the top of Baja California. It is part of the cast of plants present in coastal sage and chaparral habitat, thriving only in a specific range of rainfall in a mediterranean climate. The flowers host a variety of pollinators including butterflies, hummingbirds, and native bees and its seeds, like other Salvia species, are abundant and provide food for animals and birds. The fragrant leaves contain chemicals used by the Chumash to treat pain and a unique spicy honey is derived from the plant in the modern day.

When exposed to UV light bodily fluids glow, this is because of flourescent chemicals laced in tap water to help make forensics easier.

I got a lapis lazuli bowl to give as a Christmas present and looked at it under the UV light! What a treat.
