Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in shaping and sustaining life on Earth, yet many aspects of the process remain a mystery. One such mystery is how Photosystem II, a protein complex in plants, ...

Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (along with collaborators in Sweden, Germany and the UK) have shed new light on the final step of ...

(Nanowerk News) Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that seeks to ...

A new study describes a significant step toward improving photosynthesis and increasing yields by putting elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. In order to feed a projected 9 billion people by ...

Researchers created a photosynthesis-inspired molecule that uses light to store two positive and two negative charges, aiming to turn sunlight into carbon-neutral fuel. (Nanowerk News) Plants use the ...

Plant biotypes that are resistant to S-triazines under most conditions often grow less vigorously and have lower quantum yields and lower maximum rates of photosynthesis. The photosynthetic reactions ...
