Despite its role in shaping life as we know it, many aspects of photosynthesis remain a mystery. Scientists are working to change that. The researchers used a X-ray laser to capture the most complete ...

In the centre of the photosystem II (left), four manganese atoms (purple), five oxygen atoms (red) and one calcium atom (green) form the oxygen-evolving complex. The cluster (right) contains only five ...

In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists are amazed at a unique state when atoms are cooled to near zero. Trees outside their window absorb sunlight and convert it into new leaves. The two appear unrelated—but a recent study from ...

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...

Inside a lab, scientists marvel at a strange state that forms when they cool down atoms to nearly absolute zero. Outside their window, trees gather sunlight and turn them into new leaves. The two seem ...
