Disclosing the structure of the light-harvesting phycobilisome of cyanobacterium

RIKEN researchers determined the structure of the "antenna" that a blue-green alga uses to harvest light and compared it to that of four other species. This research could help in the development of efficient photoreactive compounds, as well as providing clues about the evolution...

Speed limits for quantum phenomena have been extended to macro-sized objects

A theoretical physicist at RIKEN has developed an expression for the maximum speed at which changes in macroscopic systems can occur. This will improve our understanding of quantum phenomena in non-equilibrium systems. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to simultaneously determine...
