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 ...

Photosynthesis is the starting point for almost every food chain, sustaining most life on Earth. You would be forgiven, then, for thinking nature has perfected the art of turning sunlight into sugar.

Scientists have found a new type of photosynthesis. The discovery could help engineer crops that can take advantage of different wavelengths of light and will change textbooks. It can also change the ...

Steve Nix is a member of the Society of American Foresters and a former forest resources analyst for the state of Alabama. Photosynthesis is an important process that permits plants, including trees, ...

Over billions of years, plants mastered the art of photosynthesis, but some took it a step further. While most crops like rice still rely on the older, less efficient C3 process, others like corn and ...

The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet the process of photosynthesis has inefficiencies that limit crop ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...
