Living Light is a biennial conference focused on all aspects of light-matter interaction in biological organisms with a broad, interdisciplinary outlook. The 2018 edition was held at the Møller Centre in Cambridge, UK, from April 11th to April 14th, 2018. Living Light's main goal is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds (e.g., biologists, physicists and engineers) in order to discuss the current state of the field and sparkle new collaborations and new interdisciplinary projects. With over 90 national and international attendees, the 2018 edition of the conference was strongly multidisciplinary: oral and poster presentations encompassed a wide range of topics ranging from the evolution and development of structural colors in living organisms and their genetic manipulation to the study of fossil photonic structures.
“生命之光”是一个两年一度的会议,以广泛的跨学科视角聚焦于生物有机体中光与物质相互作用的各个方面。2018年的会议于2018年4月11日至14日在英国剑桥的莫勒中心举行。“生命之光”的主要目标是汇聚来自不同背景(如生物学家、物理学家和工程师)的研究人员,以讨论该领域的当前状况,并激发新的合作和新的跨学科项目。2018年的会议有90多名国内外与会者,具有很强的多学科性:口头报告和海报展示涵盖了广泛的主题,从生物体内结构色的进化与发展及其基因操纵到化石光子结构的研究。
