Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have solved a long ...

Discover how photosynthesis works, the role of chlorophyll, and why this natural process is essential for life on Earth—supporting oxygen production, food creation, and climate balance.

MIT gave photosynthesis a boost by evolving rubisco to work faster, raising hopes for higher crop yields and more efficient ...

Some plants can photosynthesise using nightglow, traditionally comprising moonlight, starlight and the light reflected from planets. Increasingly, artificial light at night, known as light pollution, ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source.

As the global population grows, we’ll have to find ways of feeding the planet without accelerating climate change.

Sacoglossan sea slugs, discreet inhabitants of coral reefs, hide an astonishing secret. Unlike other animals, they can "steal" chloroplasts from the algae they consume and use them to ...

In this study, the authors take a foundational step toward creating a general equation of state for liquids based on phonon theory. If successful, such a model could have wide-ranging applications in ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a cutting-edge modular artificial leaf that simultaneously meets high efficiency, long-term stability, and scalability requirements—marking a major ...

The Drake Equation has been called the second most important equation in science. How many alien societies exist and are detectable? The Drake Equation is a step toward the answer. Frank Drake created ...
