We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing carbon dioxide. Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and ...

An experiment in the Daintree rainforest found the rate of photosynthesis in leaves warmed by 4°C dropped by an average of 35 ...

Artificial photosynthesis is an appealing strategy for producing sustainable fuels, if we can find the right materials to make it work efficiently. Scientists of all backgrounds are coming ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

Gas from the seafloor has scientists wondering if oxygen could be found in the oceans of other planets.

Plants in the shade of other plants receive more light than scientists had previously believed. A team of researchers from ...

In 2021, researchers from Toyota Central R&D Labs developed a large, cost-effective artificial photosynthesis system that produces industrial formate at a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency ...

But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly magical process ...

Shaded plants use green and far-red light for photosynthesis. Findings could transform greenhouse horticulture.

A recent study from the Plant Physiology Laboratory at the University of Guam has determined that cycad seeds offer a unique ...
