Chlorophyll provides the green color most plants are known for while absorbing light energy from the Sun. When the photons from that energy interact with the chlorophyll's electrons—which were ...

Rooftop solar panels use a material, called silicon, to help transform some of the sun's light into electrical energy. This electrical energy then flows into the house, where it's used to power ...

Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into energy-containing macromolecules. This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the ...

Solar power comes from the Sun so it is a renewable energy source. Life on Earth depends on the Sun. Plants convert the Sun’s light energy into chemical energy that lets them grow and survive ...

Heat energy from the Sun is absorbed by everything on Earth, including us. While light energy from the sun makes things visible (if you've got your eyes open). People have invented ways to ...

Laser beams powered by the sun are one small step closer to becoming ... The electrons in the atoms of that material absorb energy from the light and then release that extra energy as laser ...

"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for a boost, just don't have the ability to scale to useful interstellar speeds ...

In a recent breakthrough, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Yale University have determined the structure of the PSI biohybrid solar fuel catalyst.

Rooftop solar panels use a material, called silicon, to help transform some of the sun's light into electrical energy. This electrical energy then flows into the house, where it's used to power ...
