Microplastics can cut a plant’s ability to photosynthesize by up to 12 percent, new research shows microplastics are ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

Companies have been manufacturing synthetic fuels for nearly a century by combining carbon monoxide (which can be sourced ...

On average, these little particles could reduce photosynthesis in plants and algae by up to 12 percent, according to the paper ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

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 ...

So in photosynthesis, plant cells combine a zap of that energy with carbon dioxide pulled from the air and water. The end products of this chemical reaction are the sugar glucose that plants use ...

A team from the University of Illinois has determined that improving a key component of soybean photosynthesis is unlikely to ...
