When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan molecules act together in well-organized protein clusters, something unexpected happens. Their glow grows brighter and much faster than expected. This rare group behavior is called superradiance, and scientists now think it could reshape how we under…
