It's intuitive to think that if a tree is photosynthesizing, it's also growing. But that's not necessarily so—and a new study of oak trees, published in the journal Science Advances, found that even ...

A team has modeled improving photosynthesis through enzyme modification and simulated soybean growth with realistic climate conditions, determining to what extent the improvements in photosynthesis ...

A new study challenges a long-standing assumption about how cyanobacteria survive environmental stress. The study, led by ...

A new study published in Science Advances reveals that cyanobacteria may survive prolonged heat stress not by protecting ...

Special eye drops containing photosynthetic machinery from spinach leaves have helped combat dry eye, a new mouse experiment reveals.

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 ...

Most plants split water molecules to generate energy, and now we have a clearer picture of exactly how they do it. Researches have found missing steps in photosynthesis by stimulating plant proteins ...

Scientists developed next-generation energy technology to produce eco-friendly hydrogen from ingredients in coffee. Professor Chiyoung Park at the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, Daegu ...

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...

A new method of artificial photosynthesis could get humans one step closer to using the machinery of plants to make fuels. The new system is 10 times more efficient than previous synthetic ...

Discover why trees might store less carbon than previously thought and the implications for climate change mitigation efforts.
