If humans could hijack photosynthesis — essentially, plants’ food factory — they could, in theory, capture carbon and produce hydrogen, both potentially helpful in fighting climate change. Absorbing ...

The photosynthesis of algae decreased by 7.05%, and freshwater algae also saw a decrease of 9.24%. This is due to the reduction of chlorophyll, which is responsible for photosynthesis.

The researchers found that the presence of microplastics (plastic particles that are less than five millimeters in size) can reduce photosynthesis by as much as 7 to 12 percent, on average. That ...

Oxygenic photosynthesis in plants initiates when the pigments such as chlorophyll and carotenoids harvest light and transfer the energy toward reaction centers, where it is converted to chemical ...

China has reached a decisive milestone by achieving the first artificial photosynthesis in space aboard the Tiangong station. This unprecedented experiment successfully transformed carbon dioxide and ...

In a new study published in Chemical Science, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have uncovered a surprising quantum mechanical role in photosynthesis that could redefine our ...

Photosynthetic organisms like green plants use quantum mechanics to capture sunlight. When light hits a leaf, the energy spreads across several states of each chlorophyll molecule, called a ...

China's Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the Tiangong space station have created oxygen and ingredients for rocket fuel for the first time with the help of "artificial photosynthesis" technology.

Chinese astronauts claim to have created rocket fuel on board the country's Tiangong space station using a new process dubbed "artificial photosynthesis." As the South China Morning Post reports ...

The experiments were conducted aboard China's Tiangong space station, also known as the "Heavenly Palace," which has been fully operational in low-Earth orbit since November 2022. The artificial ...

Photosynthesis in CAM plants and their adaptations for photosynthesis CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants are a specialised group of plants adapted to extremely arid conditions. CAM plants are ...

Simply put, photosynthesis is how plants build their bodies. Instead of running around chasing down meals, like other living things, they just bask in the sun. To high-maintenance creatures such as ...
