If humans could hijack photosynthesis - essentially, plants' food factory - they could, in theory, capture carbon and produce ...

Researchers designed bioinspired hydrogels capable of using sunlight to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. Hydrogels contain polymer networks that facilitate energy conversion, offering a ...

How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method ...

Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (along with collaborators in Sweden, Germany and the UK) have shed new light on the final step of ...

Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, researchers have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe. Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or LBNL, and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory captured the previously missed oxygen-producing step of photosynthesis in a recent study ...

Most plants split water molecules to generate energy, and now we have a clearer picture of exactly how they do it. Researches have found missing steps in photosynthesis by stimulating plant proteins ...

TORONTO (CTV Network) — Scientists in Japan may have unlocked the key to recreating how plants perform photosynthesis, according to a new study, potentially paving the way for new ways to harvest ...

IISc and Caltech researchers uncover why photosynthesis uses only one electron path, solving a long-standing mystery.

Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in shaping and sustaining life on Earth, yet many aspects of the process remain a mystery. One such mystery is how Photosystem II, a protein complex in plants, ...
