RIKEN researchers have found out how light energy harvested by pigments besides chlorophyll is transferred to the molecular ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

Cyanobacteria have evolved a remarkable capacity to harness far-red light through the incorporation of chlorophyll d, a pigment that extends the range of wavelengths available for photosynthesis. This ...

For the first time scientists have found an organism that can produce chlorophyll but does not engage in photosynthesis. The peculiar organism is dubbed 'corallicolid' because it is found in 70 per ...

Chlorophyll plays a pivotal role in photosynthesis, which is why plants have evolved to have high chlorophyll levels in their leaves. However, making this pigment is expensive because plants invest a ...

Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants and algae, emits faint red and far-red light when illuminated during photosynthesis. This so-called chlorophyll-a fluorescence conveys information about ...

Sunlight is the energy source for photosynthesis. But a new discovery finds that cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, can grow in near-infrared light. Most life on Earth - plants, algae, and even some ...

Earth is, by all measures, a giant solar panel. The sun provides us warmth and light of course, but its light also fires the engine that manufactures the basis of life on Earth for everything: food ...

The natural control of chlorophyll activity has now been discovered by a team of scientists, outlines a new report. DGIST announced that the research team of the fellow Hong-Gil Nam and the research ...
