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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A microscopic green pigment can provide major insights into how severe tropical cyclones called typhoons impact water flow ...

Researchers have announced two major polymer science advances: a self-assembling polymer system that improves gene delivery safety and efficiency, and a chlorophyll-based supramolecular polymer that ...
