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.

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

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

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

and chlorophyll f (Chl f), which allow these organisms to absorb far-red light (FRL) in the 700-800 nm range. This adaptation is crucial for their survival in shaded habitats where visible light ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...
