Fleming, Cao and Massey say that the success of the experiment paves the way for other investigations using quantum light—in the context of photosynthesis and beyond. And in the meantime ...

In the native bacteria, the energy from the photons would continue transferring to subsequent molecules until it is used to initiate the chemistry of photosynthesis. But in the experiment ...

Altogether, the experiment includes 288 plants. On the space station, astronauts will tend to the plants and record how efficiently they are carrying out photosynthesis. After the plants are ...

Laboratory and field experiments have repeatedly demonstrated that modifications to the process of photosynthesis or to the ...

Two new experiments have revealed a missing step in photosynthesis, identifying previously unknown details of how water molecules are broken apart, one of the most difficult reactions. When the ...

"Until now, researchers have seldom considered the possibility that plants utilise far-red light for photosynthesis", says ...

It’s essential to photosynthesis, and without it ... I watched as he pulled out two petri dishes from the experiment. This first petri dish contained RuBisCO you’d find in nature — which ...

Scientists see massive potential in the possibility of manipulating or mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis ... Diagram of the team's experiments involving mirrors and light-harvesting ...
