Alizée Malnoë ascends a spiral staircase to Myers Hall’s fourth floor “greenhouse,” one lacking windows. Just within stands metal shelving, housing trays of seedlings haloed by grow lights. She ...

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, ...

In efforts to better understand how plant photosynthesis is regulated, scientists are studying how Rubisco activity responds ...

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 ...

A group of proteins in plant cells plays a vastly more important role in regulation of photosynthesis than once thought, according to new research. The research is an important step towards fully ...

The story of life on Earth can’t be told without photosynthesis, the process by which plants (and some other lifeforms) convert sunlight into chemical energy. Now, a team of researchers has announced ...

A unique “flat” dimeric structure of bacterial photosynthetic reaction centre-light harvesting membrane complexes discovered by state-of-the-art cryogenic electron microscopy. Researchers at the ...

Plants and algae use green-tinted chlorophyll to convert high-energy sunlight into food via photosynthesis. But what happens in deep shade? Cyanobacteria are small, photosynthetic microorganisms found ...

While there are hopes of one day channeling photosynthetic outputs directly to our needs, many key details of the process, including the actual efficiency, are still incompletely known. Researchers at ...

Artificial photosynthesis represents a breakthrough in the field of renewable energy, mimicking the natural photosynthesis process to capture and store solar energy. Recent developments have ...
