Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

New research reveals the hidden role quantum mechanics plays in photosynthesis, opening the door for breakthroughs in clean ...

Astronauts on China's Tiangong station used artificial photosynthesis to turn CO₂ and water into oxygen and rocket fuel.

The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications. Plants use light to generate fuels through photosynthesis—converting energy from the sun into sugar molecules. With artificial ...

Putricia has been placed behind a velvet rope in Sydney's botanic gardens An endangered plant known as the "corpse flower" for its putrid stink is blooming in Australia - and captivating the ...

Promoting mutually beneficial relationships between plants and soil microbes that enhance nutrient acquisition by plants could improve crop production without increasing inorganic-fertilizer use.

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

The telomes did both of the plants' big jobs: converting sunlight to energy through photosynthesis and releasing spores to produce new plants. Fossil records show that over time, plants developed ...

Plants use most but not all of the sunlight they absorb for photosynthesis; some excess energy is released as heat and a red glow, known as SIF. This direct and non-invasive indicator offers ...

While it’s easier than ever to buy live plants online, sometimes, despite our best intentions, those live plants become, well, dead plants. Artificial plants — fake plants, silk plants ...
