Does a wide bandgap JFET glow under forward bias?

Sure, everything is a function of temperature. I didn't know SiC forward biased was an led... but indirect, so not so good efficiency.

Worse, it would stop the graduate students from using quick and dirty solut ions that only work because you've got a graduate student to use as part of the control loop. The net result would be that rather less scientific rese arch would get done - what was done would be a bit more reliable, but there 's no strong correlation between the quality of the electronics and the sig nificance of the results obtained, so you end up with a net loss.

Well, those too. True fact: the human body glows, imperceptibly but only just barely so, in deep red. As I understand it, you can't see it with dark adapted eyes, but it doesn't take much better of a camera to see it. Cause is singlet oxygen species -- in short, metabolism. The same emission when

30% hydrogen peroxide and high strength bleach are mixed (at which concentration it is visible).

Yellow. This guy's photographing dies (mostly old and metal can parts) and avalanching many of them:
