Capable of producing light through a chemical reaction that doesn't require heat.
From chemiluminescence + -ent (suffix indicating a state or quality). This adjective form describes materials or systems exhibiting chemiluminescent properties.
Chemiluminescent reactions are incredibly efficient—they waste almost no energy as heat, which is why glow sticks stay cool to the touch; this efficiency inspired scientists to design better light-emitting technologies.
