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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 demonstrated a new and sustainable way to make the chemicals that are the basis of thousands of ...

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 ...
