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 ...

Researchers have discovered evidence of oxygen production in the deep Pacific Ocean, independent of sunlight and living ...

Chinese researchers have built a working version of what oil companies have chased for decades: a device that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into the building blocks of gasoline. Instead of ...

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 ...

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 energy directly from ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and a few types of single-celled organisms use energy from the sun to transform carbon dioxide and water into a storable form of energy: glucose. One of ...

Researchers have caught their best glimpse yet into the origins of photosynthesis, one of nature’s most momentous innovations. By taking near-atomic, high-resolution X-ray images of proteins from ...

The most important chemical equation in the world is the following: carbon dioxide plus water plus energy from sun equals sugar plus oxygen (6 CO2) + (6 H20) + (674 calories) = (C6H1206) + (6 02).

Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth. Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the ...

Most modern bacteria descended from ancestors who could convert the Sun's energy to fuel more than 3.5 billion years ago. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and cyanobacteria use the ...
