Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis in Venus’ clouds could support life
The possible suitability of Venus’ clouds for microbial life, and constraints that may prohibit life.
Ancient origins of photosynthesis: Revealing the mysteries
Evolutionary ‘molecular clock’ experiment to reveal origins of photosynthesis.
Plant communication: A new device can talk to plants
Opening the door to new technologies that make use of plants.
Earth’s atmospheric oxygen will last for another billion years
The fundamental timescale of the oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth remains uncertain.
MIT scientists proposed a way to grow certain plant tissues in lab
Could lab-grown plant tissue ease the environmental toll of logging and agriculture?
A new spin on metal-organic frameworks
An energy transfer process that mimics photosynthesis could help to extract more power from sunlight.
Some green plant species get carbon from their root fungi
Photosynthesis is the process through which plants nourish themselves. In this process, plants use solar energy to convert water and atmospheric carbon dioxide into...
Capturing carbon dioxide to make useful products could become big business
Waste carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels could be used to make valuable products.
Plants are currently absorbing more CO2 to slow down climate change
Global climate change caused by CO 2 emissions can stress terrestrial vegetation, potentially decreasing production. On the other hand, CO 2 interacts directly with...
How green plants expand their capacity to use solar energy?
Green plants catch light that traverses the obvious sun based range and keeping in mind that a wide otherworldly range is required for adequate...
Scientists hack plant photosynthesis to boost crop yields by 40%
Photosynthesis is a process in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, is not a wholly efficient process. A key stage in the photosynthesis process...
