fafalone Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Search for the term luciferin.. that's the protein responsible for the glow fireflies have... it will lead to lots of info on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/webprojects2002/fleming/intro.htm That has a brief history down the side which might be helpful, at least to give you some things to run searches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hydrogen Peroxide is used with many other chems to initiate the light reaction maybe a quick look at these may help: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22chemiluminescence%22+hydrogen+peroxide those are all "wet" reactions, I`m not sure if you`de classify certain metalic sulphides or not though?

YT2095 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 sure, if your teacher will give you Lab access and the chems you`ll need, ask for an ethanedioate ester and some hydrogen peroxide (9 vols should be fine). also an array of different dyes would be good, that way you could make all sorts of colors too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldrazr Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 does anyone know wat progress in he field is being made and wat techniques and equiptment is used or created for use in the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 other than "glow-sticks" including the military variety, I know very little with regards to the "wet" technology. I`m more into doped nano crystals and electro luminessence as a sideline hobby (usualy when bored). so I`ll not be much help there, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
