A new study describes a significant step toward improving photosynthesis and increasing yields by putting elements from cyanobacteria into crop plants. In order to feed a projected 9 billion people by ...

Timothy Nelson, professor of molecular, cellular & developmental biology, has been awarded an $8.4 million grant by the Plant Genome Research Program of the National Science Foundation to investigate ...

Australian researchers have created tiny compartments to help supercharge photosynthesis, potentially boosting wheat and rice ...

Chemists have designed a new 'single-site' catalyst that speeds up the rate of a key step in artificial photosynthesis. It's the first to match the efficiency of the catalytic sites that drive this ...

While solar cells and wind turbines are the devices many people will think of for off-grid electricity production, the development of practical artificial photosynthesis for the creation of hydrogen ...

Carbon nanotubes are the crucial chemical ingredient that could make artificial photosynthesis possible, say a team of Chinese researchers. The team has found that nanotubes mimic an important step in ...

Understanding biological water oxidation is central to achieving artificial photosynthesis and providing cheap and efficient hydrogen production. However, cracking the mystery of such a complex system ...

(Nanowerk News) Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that seeks to ...
