Light into the darkness of photosynthesis

Scientists have successfully visualized the 19-subunit PEP complex in 3D at a resolution of 3.5 angstroms, providing new insights into the function and evolution of chloroplast's copying machine. The structure reveals similarities with other RNA polymerases but also contains unique features mediating interactions with associated proteins.

Despite doubts from quantum physicists: Einstein's theory of relativity reaffirmed

A team from Leibniz University Hannover and University of Bremen confirmed the equivalence principle, proving passive and active gravitational mass are always equivalent, regardless of composition. This finding contradicts quantum theory's prediction of a violation, with accuracy 100 times greater than previous studies.
