A team of astronomers working with survey data from telescopes atop Maunakea and Haleakala in Hawaii has identified what may ...

Summary: Human daylight vision relies on our ability to see thousands of colors, perceive sharp fine details, and track fast-moving objects. This remarkable sensory capability is driven entirely by ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has identified the earliest known supernova, a star that exploded when the universe was roughly 730 million years old. The discovery traces back to March 14, 2025, when ...

How do photosynthetic organisms harvest light so efficiently? To help answer this question, researchers have developed an ultrafast transient absorption microscope with sensitivity approaching the ...

Abstract: Achieving few-femtosecond resolution for a pump-probe experiment is crucial to measuring the fastest electron dynamics. As almost all molecules resonantly absorb radiation in the UV and/or ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Cryptophytes obtain energy through photosynthetic pigments and transfer it to the photosynthetic center on an ultrafast timescale. The mechanisms of such ultrafast excitation energy transfer (EET) in ...

Three of our faculty members were recently notified that a chapter manuscript they wrote was accepted for publication in an ACS Symposium Series book. That manuscript, titled “Utilizing Time-resolved ...

ABSTRACT: Alizarin red lake (1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone) was utilized to develop latent fingermarks and palm marks on porous substrates. In addition, nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy was ...
