A cutting-edge experiment has revealed the quantum dynamics of one of nature's most crucial processes. Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

It is remarkable that Raman spectra can, with the help of statistical inference, be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition. By making this possible, the work of Kamei et al. has ...

These applications put forward stringent fabrication requirements, including dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, and surface roughness. Two-photon lithography is a versatile technique capable of ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...
