Secret of efficient photosynthesis is decoded
MIT researchers find that the key to purple bacteria’s light-harvesting prowess lies in highly symmetrical molecules. Cao Lab: Purple bacteria are among Earth’s oldest organisms, and among its most efficient in turning sunlight into usable chemical energy. Now, a key to their light-harvesting prowess has been explained through a detailed structural analysis by scientists at MIT. Go to MIT News Office>> |

Johnson Lab: A broad range of modern technologies, e.g., electronics, diagnostic systems, sensors, drug delivery agents, etc., rely on controlled, robust surface modification. It is therefore quite surprising that chemical methods for surface functionalization are relatively few in number. In fact, only a handful of basic bond-formation strategies: thiol-metal, silane-(metal oxide), phosphonate-(metal oxide), are routinely used. More>> |
