Chlorophyll d, found in a specific group of cyanobacteria, absorbs the most light at roughly 697 nanometers, a slightly shorter wavelength than the absorption of the new chlorophyll.

Light energy can be physically avoided by cutting down on light absorption. Absorption of light boosts chlorophyll (Chl) to an excited state (1 Chl*).

Chlorophyll is a green pigment molecule found in photosynthetic organisms and plays a key role in the first step of photosynthesis, which absorbs light and converts it into chemical energy.

Scientists have discovered a centrosymmetric crystal that behaves as though it is chiral – absorbing left- and right-handed ...

About 2.5 billion years ago, a pigment called chlorophyll appeared in single-celled organisms, allowing them to capture energy in the form of light and convert it into sugars. This biochemical ...

According to the study, such light upconversion systems could boost the light-dependent reactions for which efficiency is important, such as solar-powered water splitting.
