Knowing whether or not marine microbes engage in photosynthesis — the use of sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into energy — could help scientists to learn if ocean bacteria play a role in the ...

Without photosynthesis we wouldn’t have food because it converts energy from the sun into chemical energy for the food chains. Image by Tim Sandle Without photosynthesis we wouldn’t have food because ...

Ice cores allow climate researchers to look 800,000 years back in time: atmospheric carbon acts as fertilizer, increasing biological production. The mechanism removes carbon from the air and thereby ...

A joint research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and collaborators recently developed a stable artificial photocatalytic system that is more efficient than natural photosynthesis. The ...

Is the world’s largest rainforest about to turn into a net carbon emitter? New research suggests that the Amazon is entering into a “hypertropical” state a climate regime hotter and drier than ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the Sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants use ...
