The new type of catalyst, known as a biohybrid photocatalyst, contains a light-harvesting protein that absorbs light and transfers the energy to a metal-containing catalyst. This catalyst then uses ...

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.

By gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of this process, scientists can invent state-of-the-art technologies in the ...

Photosynthesis is a reaction that breaks down water, produces oxygen, and fixes carbon dioxide in organic compounds, using the energy of light. It is an essential function supporting biological ...

A team of scientists has found a way to slow energy leaks that have impeded the use of tiny nanocrystals in light-driven ...

Plants use light to make energy – and a team of scientists is using the same principle to power chemical reactions. fhm/Moment via Getty Images Manufactured chemicals and materials are necessary for ...

Under the sea, green algae have evolved a clever way to handle too much sunlight. Scientists found that a special pigment ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 62, No. 3 (2017), pp. 1066-1079 (14 pages) We measured the light dependence of gross photosynthesis and oxygen uptake rates by membrane inlet mass spectrometry in two ...

Researchers have developed a breakthrough method that could lead to ‘de-fossilised’ chemical industry. Researchers ...

For Chong Liu, asking a scientific question is something like placing a bet: You throw all your energy into tackling a big and challenging problem with no guarantee of a reward. As a student, he bet ...
