Researchers have successfully synthesized fumarate (fumaric acid), a raw material for unsaturated polyester resin, by combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with pyruvate (derived from biomass), using two ...

Fertilizer does not actually “feed” your plants. Let’s be clear, plants get their food from sunlight. I know we may have heard about photosynthesis and not paid much mind to this process. I was the ...

Researchers have identified photosynthetic structures inside fossils of cyanobacteria that are 1.75 billion years old. The discovery is the oldest evidence of these structures to date, providing clues ...

Scientists developed next-generation energy technology to produce eco-friendly hydrogen from ingredients in coffee. Professor Chiyoung Park at the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, Daegu ...

Turning sunlight directly into fuel has come closer to reality after scientists developed a molecule that can hold enough energy to mimic the way plants capture light. The discovery addresses one of ...

Plants found to photosynthesize 160 feet beneath the surface of the Arctic Ocean offer tantalizing prospects for the future. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In plants, natural photosynthesis binds carbon dioxide (CO 2­) to organic compounds, which can then be converted into glucose or starch. These useful molecules can be sequestered, storing the carbon ...
