In plants, natural photosynthesis binds carbon dioxide (CO 2) to organic compounds, which can then be converted into glucose or starch. These useful molecules can be sequestered, storing the carbon in ...

Lessons to be learned from nature could lead to the development of an artificial version of photosynthesis that would provide us with an absolutely clean and virtually inexhaustible energy source, say ...

Researchers have successfully synthesized fumarate (fumaric acid), a raw material for unsaturated polyester resin, by combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with pyruvate (derived from biomass), using two ...
