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 ...

Photosynthesis is the process that plants, algae, and even certain species of bacteria use to convert sunlight into oxygen and chemical energy stored as sugar (aka gluclose). But what are the ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the Sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants use ...

A research team led by Assistant Professor Shogo Mori and Professor Susumu Saito at Nagoya University has developed a method of artificial photosynthesis that uses sunlight and water to produce energy ...

Researchers have applied artificial photosynthesis as the basis for developing new sustainable processes. Artificial photosynthesis may produce syngas for the large-scale chemical industry. A future ...

Algae biofuels have been abandoned due to the difficulty in making them economically competitive with crude oil. Scientists have discovered a new process in photosynthesis that can extract electrons ...

Without photosynthesis continuing through catalyzing CO 2, toxic byproducts begin to build up in the cells. “In this ...

Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate—a biodegradable plastic—is a strong water-resistant polyester often used in packaging materials, made from 3-hydroxybutyrate as a precursor. In previous studies, a research team ...

Open the Youtube video When humans dream of venturing farther into the cosmos, one massive logistical question looms: how do ...

Chinese astronauts claim to have created rocket fuel on board the country’s Tiangong space station using a new process dubbed “artificial photosynthesis.” As the South China Morning Post reports, ...
