By experts from the British company, fireflies light detection technology used in lethal bacteria such as E. coli or Legionella. The use of this tool has penetrated the food industry. About 15 million package of tools that have been sold.
In the evening, around gardens or shrubs that there are times when we see dark light such as fluorescent yellow or green lights. Light finger nails as small pieces of floating above the ground. That's a firefly. These creatures include a kind of luminous insects of the beetle (Coleoptera, Lampyridae).
The study reveals, it turns out the light of fireflies flickering is communication with a certain rhythm that resembles Morse code used in the telegram man. Biologists also found that the light issued firefly role in finding a mating partner. This light also plays as a warning sign of danger.
Cold light
Light-producing organs in the body of fireflies are able to release about 100% of energy in the form of light. This makes the cold light. Imagine if the light like a firefly hot incandescent bulbs, they may be burned and die. This phenomenon makes the researchers are interested. Because the bulbs are known for a long time if the light will heat up and can only produce about 10% of the light source of electrical energy generated.To be its present form through the incandescent bulbs have a long research process, which is 50 years older. Development of the electric light bulb Sir Humphrey Davy began in 1811. Thomas Edison managed to develop it into an electric light bulb in 1878. When Edison was sending people to various parts of the world to find the best material as filaments (filament) light bulbs. He tried no less than 6000 wire or fiber materials, including those from plants such as bamboo, durable filament finally found a non-flammable without oxygen in the glass ball. Edison eventually founding the company in charge of Edison General Electric, who is now a global giant, General Electric.
