Photosynthesis is the process that plants, algae, and even certain species of bacteria use to convert sunlight into oxygen and chemical energy stored as sugar (aka gluclose). But what are the ...

A cutting-edge experiment has revealed the quantum dynamics of one of nature's most crucial processes. Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic ...

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...
