The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity’s food. Yet the process of photosynthesis has inefficiencies that limit crop ...

Researchers designed bioinspired hydrogels capable of using sunlight to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. Hydrogels contain polymer networks that facilitate energy conversion, offering a ...

Researchers are racing to turn sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into a virtually inexhaustible stream of clean fuel, and a series of recent breakthroughs suggests that artificial photosynthesis is ...

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...

Under the sea, green algae have evolved a clever way to handle too much sunlight. Scientists found that a special pigment called siphonein acts like a natural sun shield, protecting the algae’s ...

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...

Photosynthesis is one of those things you probably learned about in school, tucked somewhere between diagrams of chloroplasts and scribbled definitions. But it’s also the quiet miracle that keeps the ...
