Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to study key elements of super-efficient energy transfer in an important element of photosynthesis. LMU chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to ...

Trees need sunlight for the same reason you need food. The energy from the Sun’s rays is a crucial ingredient in how plants make their own food that helps them power all their cells. Since trees don’t ...

We give a quick crash course on the chemistry of photosynthesis. Ohh the sunny science! The sun shines a massive amount of energy onto the Earth’s surface every day. What if people could take a cue ...

Drawing on inspiration from photosynthesis and the way it can achieve high efficiency in plants, Regents Professors Tom Moore and Ana Moore in Arizona State University's School of Molecular Sciences ...

A new study describes a significant step toward improving photosynthesis and increasing yields by putting elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. In order to feed a projected 9 billion people by ...

Humans can do lots of things that plants can’t do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But plants have one major advantage over humans: They can make energy directly from ...

A team of Chinese scientists has unveiled a breakthrough method that turns carbon dioxide ...

LMU chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to study key elements of super-efficient energy transfer in an important element of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the motor of all life on Earth.

(Nanowerk News) Photosynthesis is the motor of all life on Earth. Complex processes are required for the sunlight-powered conversion of carbon dioxide and water to energy-rich sugar and oxygen. These ...
