Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar energy into storable chemical energy. Nature perfected this process billions ...

A new study is shining fresh light on how green plants and other photosynthetic organisms transport solar energy so efficiently. The latest research also highlights the importance of quantum mechanics ...

Jürgen Hauer explains: “When light is absorbed in a leaf, for example ... in green plants and other photosynthetic organisms, such as photosynthetic bacteria. However, the exact mechanisms ...

We describe the general background and the recent advances in research on underwater photosynthesis of leaf segments, whole communities, and plant dominated aquatic ecosystems and present contemporary ...

However, did you know a lot of the bots you have been using are actually examples of artificial intelligence? The bot has been designed to mimic human-like responses and perform a variety of tasks.

For decades, this calculation was theoretical, given the difficulties of studying photosynthesis under low light. No one could confirm it in the field, though there are plenty of places on Earth that ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. For cytotoxicity screening against human keratinocytes (HaCat) ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

Examples of endosymbiosis are everywhere. Mitochondria, the energy factories in your cells, were once free-living bacteria. Photosynthetic plants owe their sun-spun sugars to the chloroplast ...

It is a common gut bacteria that never normally sees the light of day, but now Chinese scientists have engineered E coli so that it can harness sunlight like a plant. Incorporating a custom ...
