A systematic study of six temperate plant species shows that pulsed LED light with sub-millisecond cycle periods and duty ...

This article is a summary of the key points from the article 'Photosynthesis was possible even without Photosystem I. Discovery of cyanobacteria overturning a half-century of established theory,' ...

Researchers have caught their best glimpse yet into the origins of photosynthesis, one of nature’s most momentous innovations. By taking near-atomic, high-resolution X-ray images of proteins from ...

Professor Minik Rosing and Professor Robert Frei, both of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, analysed ancient seafloor sediments in Isua, Greenland, where they had previously found the earliest ...

ESA's FLEX satellite, launching on 15 September 2026 with key support from Forschungszentrum Jülich, will for the first time ...

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 ...

A single-celled green alga from the sand dunes of the Negev Desert has, within just a few years, become a key model organism ...

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 ...

The discovery changes our understanding of the basic mechanism of photosynthesis and should rewrite the textbooks. It will also tailor the way we hunt for alien life and provide insights into how we ...

Researchers have 'hacked' the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a ...

Now that we're well past the start of spring, you're probably inured already to all the green. I mean, after those long months of winter, everyone's pumped about the first buds and shoots — so bright ...

Humans owe a lot to photosynthesis, the process by which green plants turn water and carbon dioxide into the food we eat and the air we breathe. But this 3.5-billion-year-old biochemical process is ...
