One distinction between natural photochemistry and artificial photosynthesis is the number of electrons transferred at the same time—the latter relies on multi-electron transfer reactions. Now, a ...

Terrestrial plants drove an increase in global photosynthesis between 2003 and 2021, a trend partially offset by a weak decline in photosynthesis—the process of using sunlight to make food—among ...

Photosynthesis as a set of chemical reactions in which the plant uses carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis as a set of chemical reactions in which the plant uses carbon ...

Airlines are shifting their approach to a low-carbon future, seeking not only to offset the emissions they generate, but remove them altogether and then use the CO2 to make sustainable aviation fuel.

Microplastics are now a ubiquitous part of our daily physical reality. These minuscule fragments of degrading plastic now suffuse our air, our soil, the food we eat and the water we drink. They’re ...

How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method ...

Photosynthesis can take place in nature even at extremely low light levels. This is the result of a study that investigated the development of Arctic microalgae at the end of the polar night. The ...

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 ...

Postdoctoral Researcher, Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health, University of Oxford Photosynthesis is the starting point for almost every food chain, sustaining most life on Earth. You would ...

Ancient tiny fossils from Australia may carry evidence of great power: the ability to make oxygen through photosynthesis. The fossilized bacteria, dating from 1.73 billion to 1.78 billion years ago, ...

It's not an exaggeration to suggest that the most significant event on Earth was the evolution of photosynthesis. The ability to harvest energy from light freed life from the need to scavenge energy ...
