And one of those big ideas was looking at how our world functions: Where does the energy come from that keeps most living ...

Last week, we very briefly mentioned how plant life undergoes photosynthesis. It’s time to dust off your nature knowledge from high school... and maybe add some more facts along the way. * Here’s the ...

Editor's Note: This article was provided by Inside Science. The original is here. (Inside Science) – Photosynthesis and other vital biological reactions depend on the interplay between electrically ...

Photosynthesis relies on proteins that absorb light, which excites their electrons, giving them enough energy to move within or even exit the molecule. This excitation energy is transmitted between ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...

By gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of this process, scientists can invent state-of-the-art technologies in the ...

A little extra light goes a long way. By fixing a glitch in plants’ ability to use sunlight to make sugar, scientists have managed to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis by about 15% — an upgrade ...

The world's scientific community has been searching for a way to create limitless energy. From Moon crystals to molecules that violate the laws of physics, the possibilities have been all over the ...

MS-LS1-6 – Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. (The game models how trees absorb ...

For decades, scientists have generally thought that rivers emit more carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, than they take in. But ...

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle type for novel use in artificial photosynthesis by adding zinc sulfide on the surface of indium-based quantum dots. These quantum dots produce clean hydrogen ...
