Chinese researchers have built a working version of what oil companies have chased for decades: a device that uses sunlight ...

Scientists make a material capable of capturing electrical energy following the process of photosynthesis.

A team of Chinese scientists has unveiled a breakthrough method that turns carbon dioxide ...

Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...

Mushroom World Group AlgaeTree initiative utilizes microalgae to actively capture and sequester carbon, addressing air pollution and enhancing urban air quality ...

Using artificial photosynthesis approaches to produce food could be a paradigm shift for how we feed people The scientists showed that the organisms could all be grown in an acetate medium in total ...

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 ...

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...

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 ...

Most modern bacteria descended from ancestors who could convert the Sun's energy to fuel more than 3.5 billion years ago. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and cyanobacteria use the ...

Photosynthesis has evolved in plants for millions of years to turn water, carbon dioxide, and the energy from sunlight into plant biomass and the foods we eat. This process, however, is very ...
