Fossil fuels are a big problem for the world, contributing to millions of deaths every year, but a team of UK scientists may ...

Artificial photosynthesis is highly desired to enhance natural photosynthesis through enhanced photoelectron transfer from ...

Researchers are racing to turn sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into a virtually inexhaustible stream of clean fuel, and a ...

Photosynthesis is a reaction that breaks down water, produces oxygen, and fixes carbon dioxide in organic compounds, using the energy of light. It is an essential function supporting biological ...

How can chemical reactions be triggered by light, following the example of photosynthesis in nature? This process is still poorly understood. However, researchers from Johannes Gutenberg University ...

Recent progress in observing sun-induced Chl fluorescence (SIF) provides an unprecedented opportunity to advance photosynthesis research in natural environments. However, we still lack an analytical ...

Plants take advantage of quantum mechanics to harvest sunlight with near-perfect efficiency—though only roughly 2 percent of that capture sunlight ultimately gets stored as chemical energy. Now ...

ABSTRACT: The relationship between the available photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) and the photosynthetic yield of Photosystem II (PSII), measured by chlorophyll a fluorescence, was assessed in ...
