A Japanese team established this in two thousand and nine. They placed volunteers, stripped to the waist, inside a light-tight chamber and trained an extraordinarily sensitive camera on them for stretches of twenty minutes at a time. The camera registered a steady, patchy luminescence rising off the skin, most pronounced around the face. The glow is an incidental product of ordinary cellular chemistry: reactions involving oxygen release, as they proceed, single particles of light.

There is a catch, and it accounts for why nobody had noticed before. The light is roughly a thousand times fainter than the dimmest thing a human eye can register. You are never going to see it, nor is anyone else.
