Green breakthrough: Mouse eyes photosynthesize in extraordinary experiment that could transform eye care |

Scientists have achieved a remarkable achievement by enabling the eyes of mice to carry out part of the photosynthesis process using specially designed eye drops extracted from spinach leaves. The experimental treatment was developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore to combat dry eye syndrome, a condition that affects millions of people around … Read more

Scientists find light can slow down plant growth; here's how it works |

In fact, light is essential for photosynthesis, but research from Osaka Metropolitan University found an interesting paradox: it also slows down plant growth. The study was published in Physiology botanical magazine, Show that exposure to white light induces biochemical changes; this reaction makes the bond between the plant’s internal tissues and outer layers stronger. The … Read more
