β¦ Synopsis
We report the luminescence of C 60 crystals and films due to the passage of an electrical current. The current-voltage behavior is highly non-linear with light-emission beyond a threshold voltage. The emission spectrum is featureless and resembles black-body radiation with an effective temperature on the order of 1700 K. We report experiments aimed at distinguishing between electro-and thermoluminescence.

## Abstract The emission of biophotons in the visible range, following a delay time of 2β200 seconds after exposure to light, has been measured in germinating seeds, roots, flowers, leaves, and cells. It was found that the biophotonic signals are reproducible and lightβinduced. The observed signals
