Swedish researchers developed two novel single-axis solar tracking strategies that dynamically adjust panel tilt based on crop light requirements, balancing photosynthesis and energy production. One ...

The ray florets do the opening and closing, covering the inner disc florets when closed. On cloudy cool days the daisies might not open at all. The movement of the petals is likely to be as a result ...

Swedish researchers developed two novel single-axis solar tracking strategies that dynamically adjust panel tilt based on crop light requirements, balancing photosynthesis and energy production. One ...

Rising sea temperatures are causing coral reefs around the world to bleach. For the first time, a research team at the Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) at the Technical University ...

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a globally important tropical fruit valued for its nutrition and medicinal properties, yet its genetic diversity has ...

For over two centuries, photosynthesis has remained a frontier of inquiry for biologists, biochemists, chemists, and physicists alike. However, we have ...

Cambridge researchers have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that mimics photosynthesis to make valuable chemicals sustainably. Their biohybrid device combines organic semiconductors and ...

At the L1 site, the pigment siphonein (orange) binds close to a cluster of chlorophyll molecules (Chl a610–a612, green), enabling efficient energy quenching. Too much sun can ruin a day at the beach.

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Caltech have finally solved a decades-old mystery about how photosynthesis really begins. They discovered why energy inside plants flows down ...

The ideal soil composition includes Minerals (~45%), Pore Space for Air and Water (~50%), and Organic Matter (~5%). Minerals: The soil under our feet is ancient. It developed over geologic time. The ...

Scientists seeking to develop carbon-neutral fuels using artificial photosynthesis have achieved a massive breakthrough, according to a new study published in Nature Chemistry. Significant technical ...
