A recent study conducted by researchers from Ritsumeikan University in Japan has discovered a groundbreaking method to enhance solid-state phosphorescence in π-electronic molecules. Photoluminescent molecules, which can absorb and re-emit light, hold immense potential for applications in technologies such as light-emitting diodes, sensors, and displays. The researchers focused on organoplatinum(II) complexes, known for their ordered arrangements of π-electronic molecules.

Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding the evolution of human movement by studying the inner ear of a 6-million-year-old fossil ape. The inner ear, specifically the semicircular canals, provides crucial information about balance and position during movement. By analyzing the bony inner ear region of the Lufengpithecus fossil ape using three-dimensional CT-scanning, scientists were able to uncover important clues about the origins of bipedal locomotion.
