It has been found through extensive scientific investigation that a form of quantum coherence operates within living biological systems through what is known as biological excitations and biophoton emission.

What this effectively means is that each living cell is giving off, and resonating with, a biophoton field of coherent energy.

One hypothesized route involves biophotons, or faint light produced by the cells themselves.
Red-light therapy was once fringe—now it’s everywhere. Should you believe the hype? Lynne Peeples, Nature magazine 2026

From the 1970s to the early 2000s, German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp led a body of research based around the controversial claim that biophotons (a term that he coined) aren’t emitted randomly but are structured more like laser light, organized by a coherent quantum electromagnetic field that permeates the organism or cell.

He sees it instead as the mark of a long-misunderstood field finally coming of age: the study of the ‘biophotons’ produced by living cells across the tree of life.

That biophotons (also known as ultraweak photon emissions) exist had been established long before Oblak’s team took the striking images.
