Spontaneously emitted photons from biological materials are called biophotons. They are independent from outside stimulation. Biophotons were first discovered in 1923 by a Russian medical scientist named Professor Alexander G. Gurvich. In the 1930s they were widely researched in Europe and the USA. Since the 1970s biophotons have been rediscovered in many experimental and theoretical investigations by European scientists. In 1974 German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp proved their existence, their origin from the DNA, and later their coherence. He then developed biophoton theory to explain their possible biological role.

Biophotons are ultraweak photon emissions of biological systems. They are made up of weak electromagnetic waves in the optical range of the spectrum. All living cells of plants, animals, and human beings emit biophotons that cannot be seen by the naked eye but that can be measured by special equipment. This light emission is an expression of the functional state of a living organism; therefore, its measurement can be used to assess the cell's functional state.

According to quantum mechanics, the energy of quantum fluctuations can cause virtual particles spontaneously to flash into existence. The particles that arise as matter-antimatter twins can interact, but must, in accordance with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, disappear within an interval set by Planck's constant. The above theory was proved by the Casimir Effect: two uncharged, perfectly parallel, conducting metal surfaces automatically attract one another if they get close enough. This effect was first observed by Steve K. Lamoreaux, who relied on a torsion pendulum to determine the existence of an attractive force.

There are also biological waves (Bioradiation) emitted & resonated by plants, animals, viruses, bacteria etc.
