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 ...

Despite its role in shaping life as we know it, many aspects of photosynthesis remain a mystery. Scientists are working to change that. The researchers used a X-ray laser to capture the most complete ...

Plants are of fundamental importance for life on Earth. Plants are the main source of oxygen on which life exists. As we know, plants are the living organisms that cover a large area on Earth and ...

Steve Nix is a member of the Society of American Foresters and a former forest resources analyst for the state of Alabama. Photosynthesis is an important process that permits plants, including trees, ...

Plants, just like animals, need food to survive. But the way that plants go about making their food - a process called photosynthesis - is not particularly fast or efficient! So scientists at the ...

The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

Scientists have created a method of artificial photosynthesis to grow plants without sunshine in an advance that could lead to new ways to grow food on Earth – and possibly one day on Mars. Over ...
