Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

Sunlight drives nearly all life on Earth, but much remains a mystery about the light-harvesting molecules on which biology depends in photosynthesis. In a new study published online June 14 in the ...

Last week, we very briefly mentioned how plant life undergoes photosynthesis. It’s time to dust off your nature knowledge from high school... and maybe add some more facts along the way. * Here’s the ...

Scientists believe they have “hacked” one of the key early stages of photosynthesis and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process. An international team of researchers, led by experts ...

The world's scientific community has been searching for a way to create limitless energy. From Moon crystals to molecules that violate the laws of physics, the possibilities have been all over the ...

The study, published in the journal Geology, may resolve a long-standing mystery over the age of the fossilised algae, Bangiomorpha pubescens, which were first discovered in rocks in Arctic Canada in ...

MS-LS1-6 – Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. (The game models how trees absorb ...

Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the tools to perform a crucial step in photosynthesis, changing how we think life evolved on Earth. Researchers find that the earliest bacteria had the ...
