Photosynthesis

Eating sunlight

Improved Bionic Leaf Converts Sunlight into Liquid Fuels such as Isopropanol

That's better than the efficiency of natural photosynthesis at converting water sunlight and air into stored energy.

Trees have their own day-night rhythm too

Study: Trees Sleep at Night Too

New observations reveal how trees apparently also sleep at night, as their branches and leaves "droop" when the sun goes down.

artificial photosynthesis

New Artificial Photosynthesis System Produces Sustainable Products from CO2

The newly discovered system has the capacity to convert the carbon dioxide into chemical products.

Artificial leaves

Scientists Develop Man-Made Leaf for Artificial Photosynthesis

In nature, plants use energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy to be used later.

Live bacteria

Scientists Capture Live Bacteria Portraits for the First Time

The findings could lead to X-ray exploration of the molecular machinery at work in viral infections and cell division.

Plants Reduce Carbon Dioxide Levels, Invalidating Predicted Levels

A team of Scientists in the United States claim that the climate models used to anticipate the increase of CO2 concentrations in the air are about 17 percent higher because of incorrectly approximating the amount of the greenhouse gas plants use for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis in Action

Scientists "Hack" Photosynthesis to Produce More Food

The production of sugar has been increased by using an enzyme from blue-green algae.
