Here’s how it works. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and some bacteria to turn sunlight into energy. The process chemically converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into food ...

Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, ...

Algae are widely thought to conduct half of the world's photosynthesis, partly because they're more efficient at turning light into energy and partly because of their sheer quantity. But algae ...

A new study has found links at the atomic level between photosynthesis and exciton condensates -- a strange state of physics that allows energy to flow frictionlessly through a material.

The feeding sequence, showing the energy flow from producers to consumers, is called a food chain. Each step is called a trophic level: producers are on the first trophic level 1, primary ...

Scientists have studied photosynthesis in plants for centuries ... surprised to discover a previously unknown pathway of energy flow at the beginning of the process that could enable extracting ...

The study, published today, not only advances scientists’ understanding of bacterial photosynthesis but ... role in global nutrient cycles and energy flow in ecosystems and form the base of ...

Scientists believe they have “hacked” one of the key early stages of photosynthesis and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process. An international team of researchers ...
