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 ...

For the first time, Chinese astronauts have reportedly demonstrated artificial photosynthesis technology in orbit. They have successfully conducted experiments that mimic photosynthesis, converting ...

“The so-called ‘faint young Sun paradox’ has long been a topic of debate because its resolution bears important ramifications for the basic factors structuring climate regulation and the long-term ...

In the centre of the photosystem II (left), four manganese atoms (purple), five oxygen atoms (red) and one calcium atom (green) form the oxygen-evolving complex. The cluster (right) contains only five ...

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

Plants are indispensable to human life. Through photosynthesis, they convert the carbon dioxide we exhale into fresh oxygen, and they can also remove toxins from the air we breathe. One famous NASA ...
