Saito and his colleagues, who comprised researchers from Kyoto University, Shimane University, the National Institute for Materials Science, and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute, uncovered a previously unknown mechanism of stress relaxation in ionic glass, a model system of glass.

Their research utilized state-of-the-art synchrotron radiation experiments and computer simulations to observe atomic motions in glass on a nanosecond-to-microsecond timescale.

This innovative PolyU project was a collaboration with researchers from the University of Oxford, the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Centre of Taiwan and Jiangsu University.

By X-ray crystallography, using synchrotron radiation, they determined the 3D structure of the enzyme, which had to be crystallized beforehand, with and without 2-oxoglutarate attached to it.

Researchers say the white color is light from synchrotron radiation, which is emitted across the electromagnetic spectrum, including the near-infrared.
