Optical tweezers reveal forward and backward motion is symmetric in molecular shuttling
In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the ...
Discovery of high-spin manganese centers sheds light on photosynthesis
In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two high-spin manganese centers in two very different oxidation states. This complex ...
How carbon nanotubes give out more than they receive
Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on ...
Ultrafast vortex electron diffraction: A new way to observe electrons in motion
Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few ...
