Synthetic materials rarely mimic the dynamic helicity observed in biological systems like DNA and proteins, often forming ...

A chlorophyll-based polymer shows stepwise evolution from nonhelical to helical structures, offering a new route to adaptive ...

A structural analysis reveals how energy harvested from sunlight is moved to where it can power photosynthesis.

Researchers have announced two major polymer science advances: a self-assembling polymer system that improves gene delivery safety and efficiency, and a chlorophyll-based supramolecular polymer that ...

This single-celled alga harvests far-red light by organizing chlorophyll molecules into large, cooperative clusters within its photosynthetic antenna. News organizations may use or redistribute this ...

Chlorophyll is a type of phytochemical that gives plants their green color and plays a vital role in photosynthesis—the process that turns sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into energy. It’s one of ...
