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 process that plants, algae, and even certain species of bacteria use to convert sunlight into oxygen and chemical energy stored as sugar (aka gluclose). But what are the ...

A new study provides the first insights into how thylakoid membranes—the internal compartments where oxygen-producing ...

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 ...

Scientists reveal the exact process behind the upkeep of one of the cellular components where photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is at the core of all life. But what lies at the crux of ...

A cutting-edge experiment has revealed the quantum dynamics of one of nature's most crucial processes. Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic ...

Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue ...
