Scientists study how tiny pigments in leaves use quantum mechanics to transfer energy efficiently for better solar panels.

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining robust immunity and energy levels has become more crucial than ever. The increasing ...

A homemade, chlorophyll-rich fertilizer known as "green gold" is gaining attention among gardening enthusiasts.

In the plant world, chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color. It’s also an important part of photosynthesis, which is how plants get energy. Most supplements made from the ...

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

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that has been shown to have potential health benefits. From promoting healthy digestion to improving skin health, chlorophyll supplements have gained ...

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

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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