weirdly enough, that effect in biology is electrical
the egg rapidly changes electrical potential after one sperm enters. no more can enter
even weirder, the egg will emit a tiny flash of light
it's called a zinc spark

UTP came much later! I remember offices were coax cables where going from one workstation to another, now it's all collapsed backbone and non-blocking switches, then it was the real CSMA/CD at play.

Alas, not as luminous as it might at first appear: no light is emitted in-vitro.
From the article, "Upon fertilization, calcium increases and zinc is rapidly released. When this happens, the zinc joins itself to small, light-emitting molecule probes." The word "probe" here is important: it is an introduced chemical that emits the light when it combines with the zinc.

See Fluo-4-AM and FluoZin-3 dyes, within. -
