A research team led by Assistant Professor Shogo Mori and Professor Susumu Saito at Nagoya University has developed a method ...

A breakthrough in renewable energy research has led to the development of a cost-effective and highly efficient iron-based ...

It’s no secret that plants rely on sunlight to survive. Photosynthesis, the process of converting solar energy into food, has ...

Cells get nutrients from their environment, but where do those nutrients come from? Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into energy ...

How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so ...

Nearly all of Earth’s energy comes from the Sun. So in photosynthesis, plant cells combine a zap of that energy with carbon dioxide pulled from the air and water. The end products of this ...

Algae are widely thought to conduct half of the world's photosynthesis, partly because they're more efficient at turning ...

Plants use quantum mechanics to optimize photosynthesis, inspiring new artificial light-harvesting technologies.

Rising CO2 levels are making tropical trees more efficient at photosynthesis. Learn what this means for climate change.

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have reported on the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein complex crucial to the photosynthesis of purple sulfur bacteria thriving in ...

Researchers have investigated the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein complex crucial to the photosynthesis of purple sulfur bacteria thriving in high-salt, high-alkaline ...
