It took nature millions of years to figure out how to turn energy from the sun into chemical energy that can be stored for a cloudy day - a process known as photosynthesis. It took Peidong Yang, a ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Every year, abiotic stress factors such as drought, heat, salinity or high light intensity—combined with unfavorable soil ...

Using artificial photosynthesis approaches to produce food could be a paradigm shift for how we feed people The scientists showed that the organisms could all be grown in an acetate medium in total ...

The earliest oxygen-producing microbes may not have been cyanobacteria. Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means ...

Your carrot plant sends the sugar it makes down a tube called the phloem, all the way to the root. It gets stored in plant cells there. When winter comes, your carrot plant will enter a resting stage.

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.

Researchers have 'hacked' the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Humans can do lots of things that plants can’t do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But plants have one major advantage over humans: They can make ...
