Marine algae use a unique pigment, siphonein, to shield photosynthesis from excess light

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.

'Molecular dam' stops energy leaks in nanocrystals to boost efficiency of light-driven reactions

A team of scientists has found a way to slow energy leaks that have impeded the use of tiny nanocrystals in light-driven ...
