A new study is shining fresh light on how green plants and other photosynthetic organisms transport solar energy so ...

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining optimal health is crucial. As we navigate our daily lives, our bodies face various ...

We think of fall as the season when the leaves change colors. But leaves don’t actually change color; pigments that have always been present within the leaf are revealed as the tree shuts ...

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

Chlorophyll is one type of phytochemical responsible for giving plants their pigments. The other two are the carotenoids ...

New research reveals the hidden role quantum mechanics plays in photosynthesis, opening the door for breakthroughs in clean ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Others, like many oaks, display mostly browns. All these colors are due to the mixing of varying amounts of the chlorophyll residue and other pigments in the leaf during the fall season. As the fall ...

A study from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) highlights the role of quantum mechanics in photosynthesis, a process ...
