Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Sep 12, 2023
In work published in Science Advances, a team of researchers have determined a new pressure scale, which is critical for understanding the Earth's composition. Using x-rays from a uniquely powerful spectrometer at RIKEN's SPring-8 Center they avoided some of the large approximations of previous work, discovering that the previous scale overestimated pressure by more than 20% at 230 gigapascals (

Researchers discover quantum switch for regulating photosynthesis

Beijing, China (SPX) Sep 04, 2023
Photosynthesis is a crucial process that allows plants to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds using solar energy. Light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) is a complex of pigment molecules bound to proteins. It switches between two main functions-dissipating harmful excess light energy as heat under high light intensity through nonphotochemical quenching, and transferring absorbed light to
