Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...

Moreover, each chlorophyll molecule absorbs light in different regions. Recently, a new type of chlorophyll called Chl f was discovered, but details like exactly where it is located and how it ...

A new kind of chlorophyll that catches sunlight from just beyond the red end of the visible light spectrum has been discovered. The new pigment extends the known range of light that is usable by ...

The red-shifted chlorophylls, chlorophyll d and chlorophyll f, can absorb the light at the red edge of the visible spectrum or beyond. This discovery of chlorophyll f challenges traditional views ...

Chlorophylls appear green because they absorb light at the blue and red ends of the visible spectrum. Chlorophyll a is the most abundant form in leaves and has a light green colour.
