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

The most important plant pigment is chlorophyll-a, which exhibits a grass-green color, and absorbs light in the blue and red parts of the spectrum. The absorption of chlorophyll-a peaks at wavelengths ...

Chlorophyll is a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. WATCH ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240002 , discusses boosting UV Light Absorption in 2D Semiconductor with quantum dot hybrids for enhanced light emission. Two ...

Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) provides an essential photoprotection in plants, assuring safe dissipation of excess energy as heat under high light. Although excitation energy transfer (EET) between ...

Diatoms are one of the most abundant photosynthetic organisms on earth and contribute largely to atmospheric oxygen production. They contain fucoxanthin and chlorophyll-a/c binding proteins (FCPs) as ...

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 ...

The semiconductor industry revolves around silicon (Si), but it exhibits poor light absorption in the near-infrared spectrum utilized in emerging photonic systems. In a recent study, researchers ...
