Plants have been using solar energy for millions of years, but advances in machine learning and protein engineering could ...

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. The process ...

Emulating the concept of natural photosynthesis has long been a focus of chemists in an effort to harness solar light as an energy source using water as an electron donor and a source material.

In some orchids, photosynthesis is out and parasitism is in. Instead of making food from sunlight, some of these plants have become parasitic and primarily suck nutrients out of the fungi in their ...
