Scientists design bioinspired hydrogels that mimic plant photosynthesis for clean hydrogen energy production. A new hydrogel ...

Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy ...

QarboTech's carbon dots enhance photosynthesis by optimizing light absorption and electron transfer in plants' chloroplasts.

Bioengineers propose "electro-agriculture," a method that replaces photosynthesis with a solar-powered reaction converting ...

Now, though, researchers may have found a way to use artificial photosynthesis to harness how plants generate energy and use it for ourselves. The process was discovered in groundbreaking new ...

We are living on a planet already hotter and more unstable than at any time in human history. Pretending otherwise will only ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

The leaf captures the energy, which then uses carbon dioxide and water to convert it into glucose and oxygen. The demonstration with the photosynthesis analyzer illustrates the work normally ...

Researchers have designed bioinspired hydrogels capable of using sunlight to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water.

Photosynthesis is at the heart of agriculture. In plants and some bacteria, green-tinted molecular machines called chloroplasts absorb sunlight and churn that light into energy. It’s no coincidence ...

Researchers have revealed the 3D structure of lab-made light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), a key component in photosynthesis. Using cryo-electron microscopy, they found that artificial LHCII closely ...

These networks help control the transfer of electrons ... which could help sustainably reshape energy technologies." By making artificial photosynthesis more active, this study moves us closer to a ...
