If you’d like, I can:

1. What biophotons are

• Definition: Spontaneous ultraweak photon emissions (UPE) from biological systems, typically in the UV–visible–near‑IR range (~200–800 nm), with intensities far below those of thermal or reflected light.
• Magnitude: Emission rates often range from a few to thousands of photons·s⁻¹·cm⁻² depending on organism, state, and detection sensitivity.
• Distinct from fluorescence/bioluminescence: UPE is passive, low-intensity emission linked to metabolic and oxidative processes rather than enzyme-driven luminescence.
