An international team of researchers has successfully controlled the flow of energy in a molecule with the help of its pH value. The results of the study, led by Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), could contribute to the development of new sensors for medical diagnostics, for example.

The findings are also of interest for building more efficient solar cells and for use in . The results have been published in the journal Nature Communications.

A process called singlet fission is at the center of the study. In future generations of solar cells, it should improve the utilization of light and thus increase efficiency. Until now, a large proportion of the energy that shines onto solar cells is lost and released as heat.

Life truly is radiant, according to an experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada.

An extraordinary experiment on mice and leaves from two different plant species has uncovered direct physical evidence of an eerie ‘biophoton’ phenomenon ceasing on death, suggesting all living things – including humans – could literally glow with health, until we don’t.

The findings might seem a little fringe at first glance. It’s hard not to associate scientific investigations into biological electromagnetic emissions with debunked and paranormal claims of auras and discharges surrounding living organisms.

Space missions are often performed with lone spacecraft, but the Proba-3 spacecraft, built by the European Space Agency (ESA) has finally introduced some teamwork in the mix.

The ESA’s latest spacecraft made history by achieving the first spacecraft precision formation flying in orbit.

The mission was launched on an Indian rocket at the end of 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on the east coast of India.
