Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the ...
For decades, scientists assumed that life on Earth emerged through a chain of highly improbable flukes. But a new theory ...
Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most ...
A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Researchers engineer crops to pluck more CO2 from the air and amp up photosynthesis
Tinkering with the enzyme Rubisco, they created plants that respond to rising levels of atmospheric CO2 with increased ...
Feb. 4, 2025 — Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and ...
It is also beneficial for humans, as trees with higher photosynthesis rates remove more COâ‚‚ from the air. By measuring the shape of sugar molecules in tree rings using magnetic fields, the researchers ...
