NUS scientists have developed a novel treatment for dry eye disease by harnessing the power of photosynthesis in corneal ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures have conducted ...

Photosynthetic machinery can be harvested from spinach and transplanted into the eyes of mice, where it transforms light into ...

Plants are under constant stress due to pathogens, heat, or other environmental factors. Proteins can become damaged as a ...

Plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugars and oxygen in various ways (photosynthesis).

Humans can do lots of things that plants can’t do. We can walk around, we can talk, we can hear and see and touch. But plants have one major advantage over humans: They can make energy directly from ...

Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth. Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the ...

Living organisms sustain themselves through intricate metabolic processes that continuously convert energy and materials into ...

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 ...

Researchers have caught their best glimpse yet into the origins of photosynthesis, one of nature’s most momentous innovations. By taking near-atomic, high-resolution X-ray images of proteins from ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

Scientists have found a way to bypass the need for biological photosynthesis altogether and create food independent of sunlight by using artificial photosynthesis. The technology uses a two-step ...
