Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...

Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic organisms can convert the energy in light into the chemical energy for life. And now, thanks to a ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—An experiment aimed at learning more about how plants grow in space will be aboard a National Aeronautics and Space Administration launch in early August from the Cape Canaveral ...

The film explores the origins and characteristics of protozoa, the first animals on Earth, which evolved from simple single-celled organisms. It discusses their size variations, locomotion methods, ...

Scientists see massive potential in the possibility of manipulating or mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis, which could lead to new forms of clean fuel, ways to soak up carbon dioxide or ...

I HAVE proposed 1 that coherent storage of absorbed light energy in optically non-active modes may be important in photosynthesis. For in this way energy could be transferred to electrons—initiating ...

While much of the history of life on Earth is written, the opening chapters are murky at best. On our ever-changing world, the older a rock is, the more it has changed, obscuring or even erasing ...
