Researchers discovered how green fluorescent proteins (center) react with water (shown around the edges of the protein).

New Insight on a Familiar Glow

A new approach to investigating green fluorescent protein provides a vital tool for unraveling molecular-level details of processes important in biology and light harvesting for energy use.

Specially designed, extremely small metal structures can trap light.

Light Speed Ahead!

Surface plasmons move at nearly the speed of light and travel farther than expected, possibly leading to faster electronic circuits.
