What long-term impacts does climate change have on photosynthetic organisms? This is what a recent study published in Nature Microbiology hopes to address | Earth And The Environment ...

Photosystem II (PSII) is the only biological machine capable of splitting water into oxygen using sunlight. It plays a fundamental role in global oxygen production and solar energy conversion. However ...

Find out how global photosynthesis has seen a significant increase, according to a recent scientific study.

BEIJING -- Chinese scientists have revealed for the first time the three-dimensional structure of the light energy ...

Researchers have caught their best glimpse yet into the origins of photosynthesis, one of nature’s most momentous innovations. By taking near-atomic, high-resolution X-ray images of proteins from ...

"Do I have bad news for you," Murphy said as they began to explain the critical climate issues that affect oxygen production ...

1. Examination of light absorption by photosynthetic tissues of 156 specimens from 128 species of chlorophyll a containing photosynthetic organisms, ranging from single-celled cyanobacteria to trees, ...

It’s very easy to lose a single photon. That’s why it’s so impressive that photosynthetic systems rarely do. In contrast to photovoltaic cells, which currently top out at around 30 percent efficiency, ...

When sunlight shining on a leaf changes rapidly, plants must protect themselves from the ensuing sudden surges of solar energy. To cope with these changes, photosynthetic organisms have developed ...

Around 650 million years ago, the Earth entered into the Marinoan glaciation that saw the entire planet freeze. The 'Snowball Earth' impeded the evolution of life. But as it warmed, biotic life began ...
