Researchers built a solar fuel device that regulates itself, making liquid formic acid from water and carbon dioxide without batteries or control electronics.

An ancient lineage of cyanobacteria is helping biologists uncover an early evolutionary stage of the mind-boggling process that turns light into life. Every second, trillions of watts of solar energy ...

Plants live off light, capturing its energy through photosynthesis to make food, but we lack the molecular machinery to do the same. Now, a research team has tricked out lab-grown mouse and human ...

The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet the process of photosynthesis has inefficiencies that limit crop ...

Later this year, companies will get a chance to get their hands on Zenda, an Saas that is poised to redefine operational planning and management. MD+DI spoke with Harold Hambrose - Chief Strategy ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...

The green dots inside these plant cells are the chloroplasts which house the plant's solar energy capture and conversion capabilities Solar energy is a key component of humanity’s shift towards “green ...

Microplastics are now a ubiquitous part of our daily physical reality. These minuscule fragments of degrading plastic now suffuse our air, our soil, the food we eat and the water we drink. They’re ...

Salk researchers have discovered how some plant species evolved a more efficient photosynthesis approach; findings could help make staple crops including rice and wheat more resilient to climate ...
