Rodgers & Hammerstein could have been describing the Berkshires when they wrote “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over.” Without sunlight, we would have no flowers, trees, veggies, shrubs or even grass — just ...
A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...
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 ...
The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity’s food. Yet the process of photosynthesis has inefficiencies that limit crop ...
Researchers have developed an electrocatalytic process to allow plants to undergo photosynthesis without sunlight. This form of artificial photosynthesis may increase the efficiency with which food ...
Photosynthesis is the process that enables plants to take sunlight and carbon dioxide and convert it into chemical energy to grow. Crop plants, however, are only about 1% efficient at doing this, ...
A hidden pigment helps ocean algae harness sunlight without getting burned—and it may hold clues for better solar tech.
Scientists seeking to develop carbon-neutral fuels using artificial photosynthesis have achieved a massive breakthrough, according to a new study published in Nature Chemistry. Significant technical ...
Toyota Central R&D Labs is scaling up an efficient system that uses sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce important carbon compounds, paving a path to the practical use of artificial ...
Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...
A group of proteins in plant cells plays a vastly more important role in regulation of photosynthesis than once thought, according to new research. The research is an important step towards fully ...
