Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth. The…
How can conifers that are used for example as Christmas trees keep their green needles over the boreal winter when most trees shed their leaves?…
Scientists have built tiny droplet-based microbial factories that produce hydrogen, instead of oxygen, when exposed to daylight in air. The findings of the international research…
Novel technology for the selection of single photosynthetic cells for industry and ecosystem understanding. You might need a microscope to witness the next agricultural revolution….
Global economic growth comes with increasing demand for energy, but stepping up energy production can be challenging. Recently, scientists have achieved record efficiency for solar-to-fuel…
One of nature’s most important chemical reactions is now being captured in a breakthrough “molecular movie.” Using a unique combination of nanoscale imaging and chemical…
Understanding nature’s process could inform the next generation of artificial photosynthetic systems that produce clean and renewable energy from sunlight and water. Photosystem II is…
Hydrogen is an essential commodity with over 60 million tons produced globally every year. However over 95 percent of it is made by steam reformation…
Study reveals a mechanism that plants can use to dissipate excess sunlight as heat. For plants, sunlight can be a double-edged sword. They need it…
A new artificial photosynthesis approach uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into methane, which could help make natural-gas-powered devices carbon neutral. Methane is the main…
Scientists reveal ‘beating heart’ of photosynthesis that is responsible for significantly influencing plant growth. Study shows how an electrical reaction in protein complex cytochrome b6f…
The ability to transform sunlight into energy is one of nature’s more remarkable feats. Scientists understand the basic process of photosynthesis, but many crucial details…
A team of researchers from Osaka University, in cooperation with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, directly observed charge transfer and intermolecular interactions in artificial photosynthesis…
The quest to find new ways to harness solar power has taken a step forward after researchers successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen by…
The discovery changes our understanding of the basic mechanism of photosynthesis and should rewrite the textbooks. It will also tailor the way we hunt for…
Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means oxygen was available for living organisms very…
Researchers at Yale and the University of California-Riverside recently identified a key similarity in the way water oxidation occurs in green plants and bacteria during…
