Researchers in Japan have achieved a milestone in cellular biology by embedding chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, creating photosynthetic animal cells that survive and continue photosynthesizing for at least two days.

Researchers have created an artificial photosynthetic antenna protein complex, known as light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) that closely mirrors its natural counterpart
