Microplastics can cut a plant’s ability to photosynthesize by up to 12 percent, new research shows microplastics are ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

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