A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light and reflects green light. Chlorophyll is a large molecule and takes a lot of resources to make; as such, it breaks down towards the end of the leaf's life ...

Lanthanides are a class of rare earth elements that in many countries are added to fertilizer as micronutrients to stimulate plant growth. But little is known about how they are absorbed by plants or ...

Scientists at MIT discover how lanthanides, a class of rare earth metals, help crops resist UV stress by enhancing ...

Chlorophyll (a naturally occurring pigment involved in photosynthesis)-inspired molecules hold promise for developing next-generation light-harvesting materials. However, achieving precise control ...

In a delicious turn of events, scientists succeeded in taking the optics of olive oil to create the first-ever microlaser ...

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

Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L−1), and its subsets (2 depth types and 3 ...

FaRLiP: Far-Red Light Photoacclimation; a process whereby cyanobacteria remodel their photosynthetic apparatus to utilise far-red light. Chlorophyll d: A red-shifted pigment that extends the range ...
