Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a new way to convert abundant carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate (HCO2-), an industrial chemical used as a fuel, as an antibacterial/antifungal agent, and ...

Despite its ancient origins, the PSI structure in A. panamensis looks surprisingly modern. The complex forms a three-part clover-like shape and includes more than 300 light-harvesting pigments, such ...

Luckily, each found their silver linings. “When I’m working on my experiments, you can even see me sometimes giggle when I make a mistake or when I find something I’m almost about to do is stupid, ...

Posted: April 23, 2025 | Last updated: April 23, 2025 Light bulbs are more than just a source of illumination,they can be used in fascinating experiments and creative projects.

I HAVE proposed1 that coherent storage of absorbed light energy in optically non-active modes may be important in photosynthesis. For in this way energy could be transferred to electrons ...

Most of life’s engines run on sunlight. Photons filter down through the atmosphere and are eagerly absorbed by light-powered organisms such as plants and algae. Through photosynthesis, the particles ...

A series of experiments on board China’s space station have for the first time produced oxygen and the ingredients for rocket fuel – key steps that are considered essential for human survival ...

The gene, Booster, contains DNA from two associated organisms found within the tree, and from a protein known as Rubisco that is essential to photosynthesis. Credit: Andy Sproles, ORNL/U.S. Dept. of ...

Journal Developmental Cell DOI 10.1016/j.devcel.2024.11.002 Subject of Research Cells Article Title Researchers discover new photosynthesis gene that boosts plant height Article Publication Date 3 ...

As the planet warms and global population grows , a looming food crisis is spurring biochemists to reengineer one of the most common chemical processes on the planet: photosynthesis. These reactions ...

Answering the question of how to improve photosynthesis would require the researchers to build a digital twin of the whole process, modeling all of its 120-plus steps in near-atomic detail.
