Rutgers University marine scientists are using New Jersey-developed tools to measure how iron shortages in Southern Ocean ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before I retired, I taught science to fourth graders in Midland’s GT program. As a scientist myself, I wanted my students to love science as I knew it: asking and answering questions about big ideas.

An international group of researchers says it has obtained the first direct look at photosynthesis in action, observing the process that creates and maintains oxygen crucial to life on our planet. The ...

Researchers at the Australian National University are one step closer to creating an artificial photosynthesis system after replicating one of its crucial steps. The development may lead to an ...

Rodgers & Hammerstein could have been describing the Berkshires when they wrote “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over.” Without sunlight, we would have no flowers, trees, veggies, shrubs or even grass — just ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists have been stumped by the signals plants send themselves to initiate photosynthesis, the process of turning sunlight into sugars. Researchers have now decoded those previously ...

April 5 (UPI) --New research shows photosynthesis has risen globally over the last 200 years. All life on Earth depends upon photosynthesis, the conversion of sunlight into food by plants and their ...

Aug. 16 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered a way to ease a bottleneck in the photosynthesis process. The breakthrough could allow plants to turn the sun's rays into food more efficiently, boosting ...

A team used light and water to convert acetylene into ethylene, a widely used, highly valuable chemical that is a key ingredient in plastics. While this conversion typically requires high temperatures ...
