The world's scientific community has been searching for a way to create limitless energy. From Moon crystals to molecules that violate the laws of physics, the possibilities have been all over the ...

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

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

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Caltech have finally solved a decades-old mystery about how ...

A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23. Inside ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn sunlight into food, is crucial to crop production and our food systems. What if we could increase the yield of food crops by improving photosynthesis?

Reliable, artificial photosynthesis could one day help to sustain human civilizations on alien worlds while also combating overheating here at home. That’s why researchers, including Katharina ...

Scientists from IISc and Caltech have discovered why energy in photosynthesis flows through only one route, unlocking a ...

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

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...
