One protein, two light-activated states

Scientists have found that the ion channel GtACR1 can exist in two light-activated states, enabling quicker reopening and increased ionic conductivity. This discovery has significant implications for optogenetics, a method of controlling neuronal cells using light.

The chemical basis for life can form in interstellar ice

Researchers at CNRS have discovered that chemical intermediates of the citric acid cycle can form spontaneously in interstellar ice. This finding suggests that the raw materials necessary for life could be present in space and potentially delivered to Earth.

BESSY II: New procedure for better thermoplastics

Researchers developed a new process to create high-performance polymer blends with improved mechanical properties. The process forms stable nanocrystalline layers at the interfaces between different polymer phases, enhancing the transfer of mechanical stresses and increasing tensile properties.
