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 ...

LMU biologists decipher the ionome of chloroplasts and create the foundations for new biotech strategies. Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO 2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year.

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 ...

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 ...

While solar cells and wind turbines are the devices many people will think of for off-grid electricity production, the development of practical artificial photosynthesis for the creation of hydrogen ...

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 ...

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 ...

The earliest oxygen-producing microbes may not have been cyanobacteria. Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means ...

Today’s Google Doodle celebrates another important figure in the history of science: Jan Ingenhousz, the 18th century Dutch chemist who “sprouted a flowering understanding of the secret life of plants ...
