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 ...

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 ...

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

Photosynthesis, the process by which some organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, is well known. But, it is a complex phenomenon, which involves a myriad of proteins. The molecule Chl f, a ...

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 ...

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 ...

From chlorophyll pills to cholrophyll energy bars, the green pigment has been showing up in all sorts of products lately. You may remember from high school biology that chlorophyll is essential for ...

Quantum physics plays a larger role than scientists had expected in plants’ capture of light. New findings could explain life’s uncannily efficient use of solar energy, researchers say. In organisms ...
