What if we could mimic how plants, algae, and bacteria harvest sunlight to create better solar panels? New research published Wednesday in Nature explores the molecular nitty-gritty of photosynthesis, ...

The products of photosynthesis are easy to point out. Plants, algae and cyanobacteria create the air we breathe and the fuel for food webs as they turn carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars.

In a recent study published in Nature, a team of researchers examined a process known as Photosystem II, which is the protein complex that photosynthesis uses to harvest sunlight and convert carbon ...

Have you ever taken something apart, like a watch, to see how it works by looking at the parts inside individually? That's not altogether different from a common strategy used by scientists who are ...

Researchers at the University of Vienna, along with collaborators from France, Germany, Switzerland and the USA, have achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the ...

Using fossil fuels to produce energy has had a detrimental impact on the planet. Despite pushes for cleaner energy, the power sector is still the top producer of harmful emissions according to the ...

Photosynthesis is one of those things you probably learned about in school, tucked somewhere between diagrams of chloroplasts and scribbled definitions. But it’s also the quiet miracle that keeps the ...
