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

In photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy which is stored in the sugar molecules produced. This stored energy is then available to the plant cells to use.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

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 ...

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 ...

The team created an innovative, nature-inspired hydrogel — a 3D network of polymer material that rapidly absorbs and retains ...

There is truly nothing new under the sun. This process, called photosynthesis, is fundamental to almost all life on Earth.

Hydrogen, a promising and clean fuel, is at the center of research on green energy. However, its production via artificial photosynthesis had so far been hampered by limited efficiency. Japanese ...

The collection of light energy for photosynthesis by aquatic plants is, as we have seen, carried out by the photosynthetic pigments. We have already examined the spectral absorption capabilities of ...

Salk scientists discover how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help make crops like rice and wheat more resilient to climate change Cross sections ...

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 ...
