A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

Discover how photosynthesis works, the role of chlorophyll, and why this natural process is essential for life on Earth—supporting oxygen production, food creation, and climate balance.

Much like how plants rely on pigments to harvest sunlight for photosynthesis, our photoredox catalyst absorbs multiple particles of light, called photons, in a sequence.

Conventional chemical manufacturing processes use heat to generate the energy needed for reactions that take place at high temperatures and pressures. An approach that uses light instead of heat ...

Nature holds the original patent for storing light energy in molecules more successfully than in battery technologies.
