Helping world food security by unlocking a key to photosynthesis

Scientists reveal ‘beating heart’ of photosynthesis that is responsible for significantly influencing plant growth. Study shows how an electrical reaction in protein complex cytochrome b6f provides the energy that plants need to turn carbon dioxide into the carbohydrates and biomass that sustain the global food chain. Discovery could allow experts to redesign future photosynthesis

Creating sustainable paint from recycled plastic

Experts have managed to mimic the colour of the Cyphochilus beetle’s scales one of the brightest whites in nature Findings show the colour is created by the structure of the beetles’ scales, not by pigments and dyes By managing to replicate this structure in the lab using plastic, researchers hope to pave the way for sustainable, ultra-white

Real progress in treating Crohn’s disease is possible

A clinical trial has begun which will use stem cell transplants to grow a new immune system for people with untreatable Crohn’s disease – a painful and chronic intestinal disease which affects at least 115,000 people in the UK. The study, led by Queen Mary University of London and Barts Health NHS Trust, is funded with

Totally secure communications using very rapid single-photon light pulses?

The team have developed a way of generating very rapid single-photon light pulses. Each photon, or particle of light, represents a bit of binary code – the fundamental language of computing. These photons cannot be intercepted without disturbing them in a way that would alert the sender that something was amiss. Transferring data using light
