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

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 ...

Dr. Steven P. Romberger, Edward J. Smerek Chair of Mathematics, the Sciences, and Technology and associate professor of ...

In a new study published today in Nature Communications, we present a step towards more productive crops: a simple, tiny box ...

An international team of researchers has, for the first time, demonstrated that by fixing a common glitch in photosynthesis, a crop's yield could be improved by around 40 percent. The landmark study ...

Using ultra-rapid lasers, researchers have created the first "movie" of photosynthesis chemical reactions that shows exactly how fast they happen. The finding proves that a key process that strips ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

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 ...

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy.

Your carrot plant sends the sugar it makes down a tube called the phloem, all the way to the root. It gets stored in plant cells there. When winter comes, your carrot plant will enter a resting stage.

Reliable, artificial photosynthesis could one day help to sustain human civilizations on alien worlds while also combating overheating here at home. That’s why researchers, including Katharina ...
