Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in shaping and sustaining life on Earth, yet many aspects of the process remain a mystery. One such mystery is how Photosystem II, a protein complex in plants, ...

Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that seeks to replicate ...

Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (along with collaborators in Sweden, Germany and the UK) have shed new light on the final step of ...

A new study describes a significant step toward improving photosynthesis and increasing yields by putting elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. In order to feed a projected 9 billion people by ...

Researchers have serendipitously discovered that a key step in photosynthesis can occur much earlier in the process than previously believed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
