chemiluminescence
Chemiluminescence is a chemical reaction that produces light energy without the need for heat. It occurs when a chemical reaction releases energy in the form of photons, resulting in the emission of light. This phenomenon is typically caused by the excitation of molecules or atoms in the reaction, followed by their relaxation to lower energy states with the subsequent release of light. Chemiluminescence has various applications, including in scientific research, forensics, and diagnostic assays.
