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 ...

Chlorophyll (a naturally occurring pigment involved in photosynthesis)-inspired molecules hold promise for developing next-generation light-harvesting materials. However, achieving precise control ...

One of the most well-studied chemical processes in nature, photosynthesis, may not work quite how we thought it did, scientists have accidentally discovered. Photosynthesis is the process by which ...

From space, Earth looks like an absolute paradise with deep ocean blues and verdant green vegetation covering every continent including Antarctica. But are we biased in thinking that any sort of ...
