NUS scientists have developed a novel treatment for dry eye disease by harnessing the power of photosynthesis in corneal ...

SINGAPORE, May 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What if your eyes could use light to heal themselves? Drawing inspiration from how plants harness sunlight, researchers at the National University of Singapore ...

What’s new: A research team developed hydrogels that can self-oscillate and harness light to produce chemical energy, replicating key biological processes. How it works: Polymer networks with redox ...

About 2.5 billion years ago, a pigment called chlorophyll appeared in single-celled organisms, allowing them to capture energy in the form of light and convert it into sugars. This biochemical trick, ...

Chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to study key elements of super-efficient energy transfer in an important element of photosynthesis. LMU chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Scientists design polymer networks that enable hydrogels to self-oscillate or convert light into chemical energy.

It’s not an exaggeration to suggest that the most significant event on Earth was the evolution of photosynthesis. The ability to harvest energy from light freed life from the need to scavenge energy ...
