Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are ...

A recent study indicates a small chance that Earth could be ejected from our solar system due to passing stars. Simulations ...

The key is photosynthesis. How does a plant turn sunlight into energy? Simply put, photosynthesis is the process by which a plant converts sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into glucose (a form of ...

New research has uncovered the fundamental mechanisms that limit the performance of copper catalysts, essential components in artificial photosynthesis systems that convert carbon dioxide and water ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes ...

With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilise solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have ...

In some orchids, photosynthesis is out and parasitism is in. Instead of making food from sunlight, some of these plants have become parasitic and primarily suck nutrients out of the fungi in their ...

This story is about photosynthesis. It starts roughly 147.000.000 KM away from earth, in the sun and ends underground in my garden with a rather unsuspecting ending. Love and photon particles ...

Less SBPase meant less photosynthesis, and even small decreases in SBPase had dramatic impacts on plant growth (Planta 1997, DOI: 10.1007/s004250050226).

Simply put, photosynthesis is how plants build their bodies. Instead of running around chasing down meals, like other living things, they just bask in the sun. To high-maintenance creatures such as ...

Photosynthesis breaks down What he and other researchers have seen in natural tropical environments is a clear degradation in the efficiency of photosynthesis. During his time at the University of ...

Photosynthesis can take place in nature even at extremely low light levels. This is the result of a study that investigated the development of Arctic microalgae at the end of the polar night. The ...
