Using ultra-rapid lasers, researchers have created the first "movie" of photosynthesis chemical reactions that shows exactly how fast they happen. The finding proves that a key process that strips ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Quantum computers and blades of grass have more in common than you might think. Physicists in the US have shown that electrons involved in photosynthesis reactions "sample" different energy-level ...

The natural control of chlorophyll activity has now been discovered by a team of scientists, outlines a new report. DGIST announced that the research team of the fellow Hong-Gil Nam and the research ...

We give a quick crash course on the chemistry of photosynthesis. Ohh the sunny science! The sun shines a massive amount of energy onto the Earth’s surface every day. What if people could take a cue ...

While there are hopes of one day channeling photosynthetic outputs directly to our needs, many key details of the process, including the actual efficiency, are still incompletely known. Researchers at ...

The recipe makes fluffy cake because of a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. I asked my friend Mary Fennimore about chemical reactions. She teaches chemistry at Washington State ...

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 ...

Biologists have gained important new insights by resolving with near-atomic clarity, the very first core membrane protein structure in the simplest known photosynthetic bacterium, called ...

The vast majority of life on Earth depends, either directly or indirectly, on photosynthesis for its energy. And photosynthesis depends on an enzyme called RuBisCO, which uses carbon dioxide from the ...

For decades, scientists believed that nearly all oxygen on Earth is produced through photosynthesis — a process driven by sunlight and carried out by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. According to ...
