Reliable, artificial photosynthesis could one day help to sustain human civilizations on alien worlds while also combating overheating here at home. That’s why researchers, including Katharina ...

Humans can do lots of things that plants can’t do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But plants have one major advantage over humans: They can make energy directly from ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

The world's scientific community has been searching for a way to create limitless energy. From Moon crystals to molecules that violate the laws of physics, the possibilities have been all over the ...

A new review gives a comprehensive overview of natural photosynthesis; the principles and history of artificial photosynthesis research; and carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage ...

Figure showing the systematic design of the photocatalytic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for manufacturing hydrogen peroxide using flow reactors. (a) The COF with segregated donor and acceptor ...

Salk researchers have discovered how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help make staple crops including rice and wheat more resilient to climate ...

A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23. Inside ...

Aug. 16 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered a way to ease a bottleneck in the photosynthesis process. The breakthrough could allow plants to turn the sun's rays into food more efficiently, boosting ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth. Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the ...
