Chinese researchers have built a working version of what oil companies have chased for decades: a device that uses sunlight ...

A team of Chinese scientists has unveiled a breakthrough method that turns carbon dioxide ...

New method reveals chemical signs of early microbial life in ancient Earth rocks, showing photosynthesis evolved much earlier than believed.

Scientists make a material capable of capturing electrical energy following the process of photosynthesis.

Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...

The artificial photosynthesis market offers growth in numerous segments, including technology like co-electrolysis and nanotechnology, catalysts such as semiconductor catalysts, and applications in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
