Hungarian researchers at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University and the HUN-REN Center for Energy Research have shown that the leaves ...

Photosynthetic cells are quite diverse and include cells found in green plants, phytoplankton, and cyanobacteria. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the ...

Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ): A protective mechanism in plants that dissipates excess light energy as heat to prevent damage to the photosynthetic apparatus. Thylakoid: Membrane-bound ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Most plants are autotrophs because they make their own food by photosynthesis. But for every rule there is an exception. Some plants are non-photosynthetic and parasitic, obtaining their food through ...

Astronauts on board China's "heavenly palace" space station have demonstrated a new way of making rocket fuel products and breathable oxygen by mimicking a chemical reaction in plants. The technology ...

so we use atomic force microscopy to image the nanoscale spatial organisation of the photosynthetic apparatus in bacteria and plants. Atomic-level structural models of whole membrane assemblies have ...

The role of light in photosynthesis can be investigated in several ways. In this experiment, a light is moved further from a photosynthesising plant to vary the light intensity the plant receives.

Chinese astronauts claim have successfully developed artificial photosynthesis technology in orbit for the first time. This ...

converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and rocket fuel ingredients using a simple "drawer-like" apparatus and a "semiconductor catalyst," according to Interesting Engineering. This is a similar ...
