Lessons to be learned from nature could lead to the development of an artificial version of photosynthesis that would provide us with an absolutely clean and virtually inexhaustible energy source, say ...

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 ...

Steve Nix is a member of the Society of American Foresters and a former forest resources analyst for the state of Alabama. Photosynthesis is an important process that permits plants, including trees, ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis is a chemical process by which plants, some bacteria, and algae convert energy derived from sunlight to chemical energy. This is an important process for biological life on earth ...

Algae biofuels have been abandoned due to the difficulty in making them economically competitive with crude oil. Scientists have discovered a new process in photosynthesis that can extract electrons ...
