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

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

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 ...

By proving a broader version of Hilbert’s famous 10th problem, two groups of mathematicians have expanded the realm of ...

You’ll recognize this first trick as the process of photosynthesis. The word comes from Greek and basically means “put together with light,” which is a fairly accurate description of what ...

For biochemists, it's the which-came-first question: oxygen production by photosynthesis or oxygen consumption by aerobic ...

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

Inhibiting the repair cycle can lower the efficiency of photosynthesis drastically, Puthiyaveetil said. "This is a key process that's happening all the time. Even in low light, photosystem II is ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process ...

A new technology is pushing the boundaries of farming by using electricity to grow crops without photosynthesis ...

A study of ancient stromatolites reveals that ammonium reservoirs in early Earth's oceans, likely influenced by volcanic ...
