New research suggests Earth was once a purple planet. Early microbes used retinal, not chlorophyll, for photosynthesis.

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 ...

If the leaves of your citrus tree are yellow, it’s a sign that they are deficient in the minerals — nitrogen and magnesium t ...

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

Researchers try to decode the quantum mechanics of chlorophyll, Nature’s near-perfect light harvester, to harness solar ...

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.

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

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

I do evolutionary programming," said NASA Goddard oceanographer Dr. John Moisan. "I see a lot of possibility in using ...

When you're new to the plant game, though, it can feel overwhelming when people talk about things like "indirect light" or an "internode." Internodes are the areas between the nodes (more on nodes ...

Hauer and first author Erika Keil see their study as an important new basis in the effort to clarify how chlorophyll, the pigment in leaf green, works. Applying these findings in the design of ...
