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 ...

Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the Sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants use ...

The core of the photosynthetic complex photosystem I had been assumed to require contact with its associated light-harvesting complex I to function. But a mutant Arabidopsis line lacking the ...

Drawing on inspiration from photosynthesis and the way it can achieve high efficiency in plants, Regents Professors Tom Moore and Ana Moore in Arizona State University's School of Molecular Sciences ...
