A new review from Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) summarizes the biocatalysts involved in semi-artificial photosynthesis, ...

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

The world's scientific community has been searching for a way to create limitless energy. From Moon crystals to molecules that violate the laws of physics, the possibilities have been all over the ...

Reliable, artificial photosynthesis could one day help to sustain human civilizations on alien worlds while also combating overheating here at home. That’s why researchers, including Katharina ...

Photosynthesis takes place before our eyes every day in every single little green leaf -- yet the details of the complex process have not yet been fully understood. A research team has unraveled ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn sunlight into food, is crucial to crop production and our food systems. What if we could increase the yield of food crops by improving photosynthesis?

What if we could mimic how plants, algae, and bacteria harvest sunlight to create better solar panels? New research published Wednesday in Nature explores the molecular nitty-gritty of photosynthesis, ...

Scientists think they've found a way to harvest more electricity from plants, a finding that could ripple out to other renewable energy technologies. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011.

Structures inside rare bacteria are similar to those that power photosynthesis in plants today, suggesting the process is older than assumed. Structures inside rare bacteria are similar to those that ...

Hancock, N.H. — Nanotechnologists have recently succeeded in their attempts to build molecular systems based on highly efficient versions of the molecular “machine” that plants use to turn sunlight ...

Researchers have caught their best glimpse yet into the origins of photosynthesis, one of nature’s most momentous innovations. By taking near-atomic, high-resolution X-ray images of proteins from ...
