When sunlight hits clouds or other atmospheric particles, it scatters and becomes diffuse light. Unlike direct sunlight, ...

Some plants can photosynthesise using nightglow, traditionally comprising moonlight, starlight and the light reflected from ...

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

For plants, the most important product of photosynthesis is sugar. The whole process is aimed at transforming water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich glucose molecules, which plants can then use to ...

Scientists at MIT discover how lanthanides, a class of rare earth metals, help crops resist UV stress by enhancing ...

Sacoglossan sea slugs, discreet inhabitants of coral reefs, hide an astonishing secret. Unlike other animals, they can "steal ...

Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological Process. Whether we're standing in a vast forest or our own backyards, plants tend to disguise how they sustain themselves over time.

Photosynthesis In Animal Cells Achieved For The First Time Using Implanted Chloroplasts The researchers are now calling these plant-animal hybrids "planimal" cells. Benjamin Taub ...

Scientists have been trying to make photosynthesis happen in animals since the 1970s. An image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into animal cells for the first time.

Decreased photosynthesis could also hamper efforts to fight climate change. As plants photosynthesize, they draw carbon dioxide from the air into their tissues and store it in the form of sugars.

Photosynthesis, the process through which plants get energy, grinds to a halt between 40 and 45 degrees Celsius, or 104 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, ...

United Bets on Photosynthesis and Limestone to Fuel Net-Zero Flight Path The Chicago-based carrier has partnered with a number of clean-tech startups in recent months in a renewed effort to meet ...
