Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The ...

A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

The first photosynthetic pathway that was biochemically characterized is called the C 3 pathway because the initial products of carbon fixation are 3-carbon compounds (phosphoglyceric acid, PGA ...

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding ...

At ETH Zurich, scientists from many different fields are working on something that seems straight out of science fiction.

Scientists at MIT have turbocharged one of nature’s most sluggish but essential enzymes—rubisco—by applying a cutting-edge ...

The experiments. The team considered three different photosynthetic ETCs (exciton-transfer complexes) during the experiments. These include the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex—which appears ...

In certain photosynthetic bacteria called cyanobacteria, it's normal to produce hydrogen in short spurts. It's part of a process that the cyanobacteria use to shut down photosynthesis when things ...

Tiny photosynthetic microbes could be secretly thriving on Mars — hiding inside small bubbles of liquid water in the thin layers of dusty ice that litter the Red Planet's surface, a new NASA-led ...

Photosynthetic skin "would be a supplementary passive modification, as opposed to an active modification — you could just sit there and accrue benefits from it in terms of keeping energized.

Ironically, receiving too much light can damage photosystem II and erode the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. Purdue University biochemists Steven McKenzie and Sujith Puthiyaveetil have ...
