The sequence of changes that light triggers in a bacterial photoreceptor starts with its protein scaffolding rather than the light-absorbing chromophore, an all-RIKEN team has shown. This finding goes ...

Holography is a unique technique for high-density data storage or real-time processing 1. The most prominent class of holographic materials are photorefractive materials, which combine electro-optic ...

When light hits certain chromophores in proteins, it causes them to twist and change shape. This atomic reconfiguration, known as photoisomerization, changes the molecule's chemical and physical ...

A team of scientists has gained insight into how electric fields affect the way energy from light drives molecular motion and transformation in a protein commonly used in biological imaging. A team of ...

The novel method uses a recycling photoreactor with an immobilized photosensitizer, coupled with a high-performance liquid chromatography technology, to enable efficient and sustainable synthesis of Z ...
