In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two high-spin manganese centers in two very different oxidation states. This complex ...

To experimentally prove that photosynthesis only occurs in the light. Care must be taken when using boiling ethanol. Make sure that no Bunsen burners are turned on as the ethanol is highly flammable.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have reported on the structure and light energy transfer efficiency of a protein ...

Plants harness quantum physics to capture solar energy with near-perfect efficiency. Scientists are now exploring how to ...

For the first time, Dr. Paolo Giusto and his team captured the step-by-step interactions ... Plants use light to generate fuels through photosynthesis—converting energy from the sun into sugar ...

Before carrying out any photosynthesis ... will be removed or used. This step is important so you can be positive that any starch present at the end of the experiment has been produced during ...

that brings us a step closer to the day carbon dioxide could be used as a resource.

Astronauts aboard China's Tiangong space station successfully conducted experiments on artificial photosynthesis ... oxygen and fuel on-site is a crucial step toward supporting long-term human ...

They started looking into the idea of “extraterrestrial artificial photosynthesis” in 2015. The experiments focused on key technologies such as conversion of carbon dioxide at room temperature ...
