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 ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—An experiment aimed at learning more about how plants grow in space will be aboard a National Aeronautics and Space Administration launch in early August from the Cape Canaveral ...

Scientists see massive potential in the possibility of manipulating or mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis, which could lead to new forms of clean fuel, ways to soak up carbon dioxide or ...

For this weeks fun, family-friendly experiment we are exploring the wonders all around us that are hidden from view on a daily basis. Today we are bringing to light the process of Photosynthesis, ...

The film explores the origins and characteristics of protozoa, the first animals on Earth, which evolved from simple single-celled organisms. It discusses their size variations, locomotion methods, ...

A long-standing debate over just how “quantum” photosynthesis is may finally be coming to an end. Subatomic particles obey a strange set of mathematical rules as they move around. They can only take ...

The most important chemical equation in the world is the following: carbon dioxide plus water plus energy from sun equals sugar plus oxygen (6 CO2) + (6 H20) + (674 calories) = (C6H1206) + (6 02).

Microplastics are now a ubiquitous part of our daily physical reality. These minuscule fragments of degrading plastic now suffuse our air, our soil, the food we eat and the water we drink. They’re ...
