In mitochondria, respiratory supercomplexes (blue) pump protons across crista membranes to create an electrochemical gradient, fueling adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase (pink) to regenerate ATP—the energy currency of life. Now, cryo–electron tomography captures these supercomplexes in their native organization, illuminating how the coordinated action of these molecular machines drives life’s fundamental energy conversion.

Some scientists had argued that the “forest gardens” of the Pacific Northwest were accidental byproducts of fire, flood, or land clearing. But a 2021 study showed the contrary: Indigenous peoples deliberately cultivated them. https://scim.ag/4j1s9m3 #InternationalDayOfForests

Planting trees is great and all, but what we really want is to have carbon locked away in long-lasting reservoirs—and the good news is, that's what's happening. That and more of the best in Science Magazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: https://lnkd.in/gRcGkzzq

By squeezing a packet of laser light into a tiny sliver of a second, physicists can produce superintense pulses that, if only for an instant, deliver as much power as 1 million nuclear plants. Such petawatt lasers have enabled scientists to manipulate materials in new ways, emulate the conditions inside planets, and even split atoms. Now, accelerator physicists have matched that feat, producing petawatt pulses of electrons that could also have spectacular applications. Learn more: https://scim.ag/3RfJSKK

In Mesoamerican cloud forests, climate change and deforestation are leading to plant species moving upslope. However, an analysis of forest plant traits from across the tropical Americas suggests that forests are not changing fast enough to keep up with climate change.
