Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, ...

Here’s how it works. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and some bacteria to turn sunlight into energy. The process chemically converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into food ...

Algae are widely thought to conduct half of the world's photosynthesis, partly because they're more efficient at turning light into energy and partly because of their sheer quantity. But algae ...

the part of plant cells that conduct photosynthesis -- converting light into energy. Incorporation of CNTs enhanced electron flow associated with photosynthesis by 49% in extracted chloroplasts ...

Plants ignore the most energy-rich part of sunlight because stability matters more than efficiency, according to a new model of photosynthesis. From large trees in the Amazon jungle to houseplants to ...

The feeding sequence, showing the energy flow from producers to consumers, is called a food chain. Each step is called a trophic level: producers are on the first trophic level 1, primary ...

found links at the atomic level between photosynthesis and exciton condensates—a strange state of physics that allows energy to flow frictionlessly through a material. The finding is scientifically ...

A key feature of this system is toroidal conjugation, a phenomenon in which energy and charge flow continuously around ... of mechanisms similar to photosynthesis and to the development of ...
