During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

Researchers discovered how coccolithophores, a subset of haptophytes, harness the sun's energy, which could lead to ...

Billionaire Ray Dalio warns of 'big, painful disruptions' after Congress passes Trump's spending bill Major wine company will ...

A new exhibition unveils the creative journeys of Pratt Institute’s Communications Design alumni. On view June 27–September 6.

Discover how photosynthesis works, the role of chlorophyll, and why this natural process is essential for life on ...

Colorado State University researchers have published a paper in Science that describes a new and more efficient light-based process for transforming fossil fuels into useful modern chemicals. In it, ...

The benefits of photosynthesis are manifold. By that process, we breathe life-sustaining oxygen, eat a variety of foods, use wood for construction and, after flora die, make the most of enriched soil.

It’s hard not to relate to the little insects that carnivorous plants like the Cape sundew, Venus flytraps and pitcher plants feed upon. What seems to be an inert plant, a part of the ecological ...

This process is what scientists have dubbed photosynthesis. Photosynthesis starts with roots, stomata, and chloroplasts, biological structures found exclusively in plants.

Scientists Take Key Step in Mimicking Photosynthesis Learn how replicating the natural process plants use to create their own food from sun and water could ease some environmental issues.

Photosynthesis is a marvellous process: plants use it to produce sugar molecules and oxygen from the simple starting materials carbon dioxide and water. They draw the energy they need for this ...

They draw the energy they need for this complex process from sunlight. If humans could imitate photosynthesis, it would have many advantages.
