New research puts those potential harms into sharp focus, estimating that microplastics may reduce photosynthesis rates by as much as 18 percent. An international team of researchers analyzed data ...

If humans could hijack photosynthesis — essentially, plants’ food factory — they could, in theory, capture carbon and produce hydrogen, both potentially helpful in fighting climate change. Absorbing ...

With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes ...

Scientists have successfully mimicked a key step in photosynthesis, using stacked dye molecules to transfer light energy efficiently. This breakthrough could lead to artificial photosynthesis systems ...
