Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic organisms can convert the energy in light into the chemical energy for life. And now, thanks to a ...

Plants and animals have many similarities when it comes to what they need to survive. Both need water and air. We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing ...

Sometimes we assume that the natural way is the best way, or it doesn’t even occur to us to look for an alternative. Especially for the most basic things. But some scientists are questioning ...

A catalyst has been developed that facilitates artificial photosynthesis using everyday tap water, moving beyond the exclusive use of distilled water in laboratories. A research team led by Dr. Min ...

Albert Porcar-Castell as co-author in Science paper "OCO-2 advances photosynthesis observation from space via solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence" published 13th of October. The paper gives direct ...

Try out this experiment in Atomic Labs. Go to the Biology lab and try the light intensity and photosynthesis experiment. Leave for five minutes for the pondweed to acclimatise to the new light ...

A biochemistry lab on the Tempe campus seeks to speed up the processes of photosynthesis with the hope of someday being able to increase crop yield and decrease world hunger. With growing worldwide ...
