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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Trees need sunlight for the same reason you need food. The energy from the Sun’s rays is a crucial ingredient in how plants make their own food that helps them power all their cells. Since trees don’t ...

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 ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

Scientists have improved on the natural process of photosynthesis, not only growing plants more efficiently, but doing so in the dark. This could expand agriculture to areas that don’t get enough ...

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 ...

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 ...
