In marine environments, sponges tend to eat other organisms to get their nutrients. But a study published in Functional ...

Engineers at Osaka Metropolitan University have built an artificial-photosynthesis system that produces liquid solar fuel ...

Unlike conventional solar systems, which are hampered by the sun’s fluctuations and require backup systems to even them out, ...

A new study provides the first insights into how thylakoid membranes—the internal compartments where oxygen-producing ...

Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue photosynthesizing under extreme heat and dry air conditions—a finding that could improve ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...

Photosynthesis is a chemical process by which plants, some bacteria, and algae convert energy derived from sunlight to chemical energy. This is an important process for biological life on earth ...

Scientists have found a way to bypass the need for biological photosynthesis altogether and create food independent of sunlight by using artificial photosynthesis. The technology uses a two-step ...
