In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two high-spin manganese centers in two very different oxidation states. This complex ...

To experimentally prove that photosynthesis only occurs in the light. Care must be taken when using boiling ethanol. Make sure that no Bunsen burners are turned on as the ethanol is highly flammable.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...
