Scientists at MIT have turbocharged one of nature’s most sluggish but essential enzymes—rubisco—by applying a cutting-edge ...

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction - the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

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

The panel is designed to mimic plant photosynthesis and is divided into a photoanode chamber, which is responsible for organic oxidation reactions, and a photocathode chamber, which synthesizes ...

Photosynthesis is one of nature’s most efficient chemical processes, converting sunlight into energy with remarkable precision. Plants use this process to create sugar molecules and oxygen from water ...

Biotechnology Future proofing photosynthesis How biochemists are tinkering with the fundamental reactions in plants to improve crop yields by Carrie Arnold, special to C&EN ...

Dubbed “electro-agriculture,” the approach uses solar panels to trigger a chemical reaction that turns ambient CO2 into an energy source called acetate.
