Richard Moore, 59, is to be put to death by lethal injection at 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) at a prison in Columbia, the state capital, barring a last-minute grant of clemency from the governor. Moore was sentenced to death in 2001 for the 1999 killing of James Mahoney, a white convenience store clerk, during what prosecutors said was a robbery attempt.

Improving energy production by boosting singlet fission process

Singlet fission (SF) is an exciton amplification phenomenon in which two triplet excitons are generated from a singlet exciton produced by the absorption of a single photon in chromophores. A team of researchers has demonstrated that SF can be promoted by introducing chirality and controlling chromophore orientation and arrangement. Their innovative study is expected to promote diverse applications in energy science, quantum, and information materials science, photocatalysis, solar cells, and life science.
