Researchers often look to photosynthesis—a process that turns sunlight into chemical energy in plants and bacteria—as a model for innovation. Photosynthesis is in turn linked to chlorophyll pigments, ...

THE fourth Pedler Lecture of the Chemical Society was delivered by Prof. Hans Fischer at the Royal Institution on February 22, his subject being the constitution of chlorophyll A. Prof. Fischer has ...

DURING experiments on pigment orientation in chloroplasts and grana, it was necessary to determine the directions in which linearly polarized light is preferably absorbed in a pigment molecule. This ...

Researchers report that plant-derived chlorophyll acts as a sustainable physical crosslinker that boosts hydrogel ...

This single-celled alga harvests far-red light by organizing chlorophyll molecules into large, cooperative clusters within its photosynthetic antenna. News organizations may use or redistribute this ...

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