Fluorescence: making animals glow Subject: Science and tech Section: Msc  Context: A recent study reported that the bodies of animals belonging to all the known mammalian orders fluoresced in some way. Some 107 species also had fur that fluoresced. Fluorescence  when an object absorbs some light of higher energy (like blue color) and  releases it at lower energy (like red color). It usually happens when an electron  absorbs a photon, or a particle of light, jumps to a higher energy level, before releasing that energy and jumping back […]
