Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

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.

A graduate research assistant at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama system, has published a paper in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics that builds on ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Researchers try to decode the quantum mechanics of chlorophyll, Nature’s near-perfect light harvester, to harness solar ...

To be effective, a heat pipe must be composed of material with high thermal conductivity, usually copper or copper alloy. The ...

Air conditioning and refrigeration consume about 20% of global electricity, relying on century-old vapor-compression ...
