Electrical guardrails for charge carriers: A new approach to harness graphene for solar cellsGraphene is a single layer of carbon atoms in which electrons can move with high mobility, making it promising for high-speed electronic components. Yet it is not very efficient at converting light into electricity. While light…Faraway tectonic forces may have accelerated the Gulf of California riftingWhen the Baja California peninsula broke from mainland Mexico nearly 12 million years ago, it gave rise to the Gulf of California. New research suggests that this process of continental rifting was greatly accelerated due to…Simplified ancestral enzyme makes ATP without amino acid needed for its usual reactionProteins perform essential functions in living organisms, from catalyzing biochemical reactions to supporting cellular energy metabolism.
