With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have ...

Photosynthesis is a term that almost every science enthusiast has known and studied. However, it is not easy to memorise all the steps and processes of photosynthesis by heart. This article ...

It was previously hypothesized that just a small number of photons would be needed to kickstart photosynthesis, but researchers never successfully observed this first step. However, in 2023 ...

Plants and bacteria use different processes for photosynthesis, but the initial steps are similar enough ... relies on quantum physics (SN: 2/3/10). While it’s not clear whether the new ...

Now, a University of Michigan biophysicist and her group have been able to image the moment a photon sparks the first energy conversion steps of photosynthesis ... 201721927 DOI: ...

Researches have found missing steps in photosynthesis by stimulating plant proteins with laser light and then capturing the resulting processes with x-rays. Here, the leaves of a smoke bush are ...

“It is efficient and fast. This is an important step towards the development of artificial photosynthesis.” This is what the stack of four dyes synthesized in Würzburg looks like. It represents a ...

The data reveal an intermediate reaction step that had not been observed before. The results, published today in Nature, shed light on how nature has optimized photosynthesis and are helping ...
