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

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

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

The green compound known as chlorophyll, found in plants, enables them to capture solar energy and convert it into food via the process of photosynthesis. It’s also suggested to be a beneficial ...

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.

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

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

5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity and chlorophyll a fluorescence; relative water content, total soluble protein level, H 2 O 2 production and electrolyte leakage in roots and leaves. This ...

The discoloration arises from the presence of chlorophyll, a green pigment used for photosynthesis. Because phytoplankton contain chlorophyll, the distribution and abundance of phytoplankton in oceans ...

Chlorophyll is an important pigment for photosynthesis in most plants, so it plays a vital role in the growth and development of plants (Xu et al., 2001; Chatterjee and Kundu, 2015). Wheat is an ...

When chlorophyll receives sunlight, it starts the photosynthesis reaction. The name photosynthesis comes from the ancient Greek words “photo,” which means light, and “synthesis,” which ...
