A research team led by Assistant Professor Shogo Mori and Professor Susumu Saito at Nagoya University has developed a method of artificial photosynthesis that uses sunlight and water to produce energy ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis is the starting point for almost every food chain, sustaining most life on Earth. You would be forgiven, then, for thinking nature has perfected the art of turning sunlight into sugar.

Photosynthesis is one of the most important processes on Earth. It is the method by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria prepare their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This ...

Proof of Concept is a video series profiling the science and scientists behind some of the environment’s most unexpected research. Pretty much all life on Earth – plants, animals, humans – in large ...

Fossils preserved within ancient rock may prove that photosynthesis started way earlier than we thought. If correctly dated to 1.75 billion years ago, the new find provides additional insight into ...

Unlike conventional solar systems, which are hampered by the sun’s fluctuations and require backup systems to even them out, leaves can harness solar energy even in low-light conditions. Taking a step ...

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 ...
