Scientists see massive potential in the possibility of manipulating or mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis, which could lead to new forms of clean fuel, ways to soak up carbon dioxide or ...

Not content with using hybrid artificial photosynthesis to turn CO2 emissions into plastics and biofuel, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) now claim to have ...

Alizée Malnoë ascends a spiral staircase to Myers Hall’s fourth floor “greenhouse,” one lacking windows. Just within stands metal shelving, housing trays of seedlings haloed by grow lights. She ...

Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic organisms can convert the energy in light into the chemical energy for life. And now, thanks to a ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—An experiment aimed at learning more about how plants grow in space will be aboard a National Aeronautics and Space Administration launch in early August from the Cape Canaveral ...

Researchers have finally proven what it takes to kickstart photosynthesis. Using techniques from the realms of biology and quantum physics, the scientists were able to track photons interacting with ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new technique, modeled after a metabolic process found in some bacteria, to convert carbon dioxide into solar fuels through artificial photosynthesis. Scientists at ...

A long-standing debate over just how “quantum” photosynthesis is may finally be coming to an end. Subatomic particles obey a strange set of mathematical rules as they move around. They can only take ...

Physicists have simulated key processes of photosynthesis on a quantum level with high spatial and temporal resolution. In their experiment with Rydberg atoms scientists discovered new properties of ...
