• Scientists Interrupt Photosynthesis To Snatch Plants’ Clean Energy

  
  — Authority:
  Planet Earth is the ultimate zero-waste operation. Left to her own devices, Mother Earth wastes nothing. Using only the sun’s energy, each and every natural process is supported, with the waste from one being used to fuel another. With all of our sophisticated technology, we’re still far from achieving this type ...

• Scientists Use Cyborg Plants to Harvest Solar Energy

  
  — Authority:
  Our star, the Sun, provides most of the energy on this planet. (Essentially, all the energy except for nuclear, comes directly or indirectly from it.) Our current methods of converting solar radiation into electricity (photovoltaics) are not very efficient in comparison with plants. Researchers at the University of ...

• Power plants: UGA researchers explore how to harvest electricity directly from plants

  
  — Authority:
  Athens, Ga. – The sun provides the most abundant source of energy on the planet. However, only a tiny fraction of the solar radiation on Earth is converted into useful energy. To help solve this problem, researchers at the University of Georgia looked to nature for inspiration, and they are now developing a new ...

• Plug into a plant: A new approach to clean energy harvesting

  
  Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine — Authority: 739
  Millions of years have evolution has resulted in plants being the most efficient harvesters of solar energy on the planet. Much research is underway into ways to artificially mimic photosynthesis in devices like artificial leaves , but researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) are working on a different approach ...

• Quantum Dynamics Observed in Photosynthesis Gives New Ideas for Solar Cells

  
  — Authority:
  University of Chicago researchers have created a synthetic compound that mimics the design principles that support persistent electronic coherence in biological light harvesting systems (or, to put it simply, in the leaves of the plants). This may give scientists new ideas for solar energy technologies. According to ...

• From molecules to gallons: Scaling up fuels created by artificial photosynthesis

  
  — Authority:
  Artificial photosynthesis is a dream technology that mimics a natural leaf, converting water and carbon dioxide into fuels with sunlight. But before this technology can take flight, scientists will have to solve a fundamental plumbing problem: how to gather molecules of fuel from microscopic reaction sites to pipes ...

• To feed or not to feed?

  
  — Authority:
  I say yes provided you are watching PO4 and NO3 levels closely.  Feeding corals has been disputed and discussed for many years and it was once though that corals derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis.  In my observations, some … Continue reading → The post To feed or not to feed? appeared ...

• Production and carbonate dynamics of Halimeda incrassata (Ellis) Lamouroux altered by Thalassia testudinum Banks and Soland ex König

  
  — Authority:
  Ocean acidification poses a serious threat to a broad suite of calcifying organisms. Scleractinian corals and calcareous algae that occupy shallow, tropical waters are vulnerable to global changes in ocean chemistry because they already are subject to stressful and variable carbon dynamics at the local scale. For ...

• Quantum carotenoids – how pigment’s ‘dark state’ helps turn light into energy

  
  — Authority:
  Scientists at the Universities of Glasgow and Toronto have finally uncovered the mechanism by which carotenoids – the same pigment that gives carrots an orange colour – help chlorophyll turn light into useful chemical energy. Carotenoids are important light-absorbing pigments in photosynthesis and their role in ...
