Scientists study how tiny pigments in leaves use quantum mechanics to transfer energy efficiently for better solar panels.

A new study is shining fresh light on how green plants and other photosynthetic organisms transport solar energy so ...

In the study Modelling and analysis of the influence of solar spectrum on the efficiency of photovoltaic modules, published in Energy Reports, the researchers proposed a method to obtain the ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

Amid a steady stream of galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles raining down on planes, the higher altitude and latitude of flights, the higher radiation doses for crew and passengers.
