Photosynthesis, the way plants and some tiny organisms turn sunlight into energy, works incredibly well even though ...

Moreover, ecological studies have revealed that the evolution of chlorophyll d-based light-harvesting systems fosters niche partitioning in Acaryochloris marina, promoting diversification through ...

We analyze all-optical switching in chlorophyll-A (Chl-A) molecules for different combinations of pump-probe wavelengths, based on nonlinear intensity-induced excited-state absorption. It is shown ...

What You Need To Know Doris D’Ambrosio says it’s dangerous to travel through the U.S. 27 and Wellness Way intersection Since Schofield Road was paved, more drivers are using U.S. 27 and ...

That UV vision could help two ways, says Fosbury. First, it’s likely to help them find food in the snowy winter. Lichens, a staple of reindeer winter diet, absorb UV, so they show up dark ...

Due to the L-theanine levels in matcha, it’s generally considered better for gut health than coffee. Coffee is more acidic ...

There are, however, intrinsic absorption features in the spectra of all actual diamonds. As discussed in our 2013 article, most diamonds also contain lattice defects which, in sufficient ...

Nonphotochemical quenching mechanisms regulate light harvesting in oxygenic photosynthesis. Measurement techniques for nonphotochemical quenching have typically focused on downstream effects of ...

The high aspect ratio (HAR) quantum well was proposed as a general design principle to overcome the tradeoff problem between light absorption and carrier collection in multiple quantum-well (MQW) ...

Commercialization of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting technology is hindered by the slower kinetics of oxygen evolution in the currently available photoanodes. Light absorption, ...

Alexandrite is also a strongly pleochroic gem, which means it can show different colors when viewed from different directions. Typically, its three pleochroic colors are green, orange, and purple-red.
