Photosynthesis has fueled life on Earth for billions of years. Learn how it shapes ecosystems, sustains life, and even aids ...

Scientists design bioinspired hydrogels that mimic plant photosynthesis for clean hydrogen energy production. A new hydrogel ...

The hydrogels are packed with functional molecules, such as ruthenium complexes and platinum nanoparticles, which work together to simulate the natural process of photosynthesis. "The biggest ...

By adding chloroplasts to animal cells, scientists are getting closer to bringing plants’ biggest biological tool to other ...

Plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into molecules that they can metabolize. However, this isn’t the only process that can generate these molecules—and a new paper, published ...

Researchers have revealed the 3D structure of lab-made light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), a key component in photosynthesis. Using cryo-electron microscopy, they found that artificial LHCII closely ...

Photosynthesis is at the heart of agriculture ... The system captures ambient CO 2 from the air and uses water and electricity to convert the gas into different molecules—including ethanol and acetate ...

Researchers have designed bioinspired hydrogels capable of using sunlight to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water.

Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy ...

Plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide (CO 2) into molecules that they can metabolize. However, this isn’t the only process that can generate these molecules—and a new paper ...
