Imagine a world filled only with daisies. Light-colored daisies reflect sunlight, cooling down the planet, while darker daisies absorb sunlight, warming it up. Together, these two types of daisies ...

and rely heavily on the harmless removal of much of the absorbed energy. Absorption of a photon of sunlight propels photosynthetic pigments into their excited state, from which un-utilized energy ...

A research team from Swiss research institute ETH Zurich has developed a novel thermal trap technology that can absorb concentrated sunlight and deliver heat at over 1,000 C. The thermal trap ...

During this period, the sun’s UVB rays, essential for vitamin D production, are at their most effective angle, allowing your body to absorb sunlight without overexposure. Here’s why this ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

Most of the time, photosynthesis occurs in leaves, and leaves take in sunlight to make food. There are some special plants, ...

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is also produced. Time for a demo here. Here we have the aquatic plant named Cabomba.

According to a study published in Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials, researchers created a fabric that uses nanoparticles made from polyaniline and polydopamine, which absorb sunlight.
