Some plants can photosynthesise using nightglow, traditionally comprising moonlight, starlight and the light reflected from ...

Photosynthesis is the process plants, algae and some bacteria use to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.

Plant phototropism—directional growth in response to light—serves as a key adaptive mechanism, optimizing photosynthesis and ...

Photosynthesis in the Shade "Until now, researchers have seldom considered the possibility that plants utilise far-red light for photosynthesis", says WUR PhD candidate Tinko Jans. That is because ...

Discover how photosynthesis works, the role of chlorophyll, and why this natural process is essential for life on Earth—supporting oxygen production, food creation, and climate balance.

A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

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

Photosynthesis In Animal Cells Achieved For The First Time Using Implanted Chloroplasts The researchers are now calling these plant-animal hybrids "planimal" cells.

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

How Does Photosynthesis Work? Photosynthesis has fueled life on Earth for billions of years. Learn how it shapes ecosystems, sustains life, and even aids climate models.

A new handheld microscope lets scientists monitor coral health in real time, underwater, without harming reefs.
