Photosynthesis is an important process that permits plants, including trees, to use their leaves to trap the sun's energy in the form of sugar. The leaves then store the resulting sugar in cells ...

Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological Process Whether we're standing in a vast forest or our own backyards, plants tend to disguise how they sustain themselves over time.

These are questions that a team of researchers led by the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) hope to answer as they used quantum chemical calculations to examine a photosynthesis protein ...

The process succeeds in taming stubborn carbon, which structurally resists most efforts to harness it for a single chemical product. Typically, refined forms of carbon molecules must first be ...

Solar panels are an increasingly popular way to generate electricity from the sun’s energy. Although humans are still figuring out how to reliably turn that energy into fuel, plants have been doing it ...
