   An international team led by scientists from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) pieced together high-resolution (approximately 0.15 Ångstrom) structures of a Mn4Ca cluster found in a photosynthetic protein complex. Their work could help researchers synthesize molecules that mimic this catalyst, which is a central focus in the push to develop clean energy technologies that rely on sunlight to split water and form hydrogen to feed fuel cells or other non-polluting power sources.

6. Neuroscientist records surprising brain 'dialogue' during sleep
   03-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A Brown University-led research team has, for the first time, recorded activity inside the cells of the hippocampus while simultaneously measuring activity in the neocortex. Recordings from these two brain regions -- seats of memory creation and storage -- revealed a surprisingly complex pattern of activity. These findings, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are part of a growing body of evidence that challenges traditional theories of the role of sleep in learning and memory.
