Photosynthesis is the process that plants, algae, and even certain species of bacteria use to convert sunlight into oxygen and chemical energy stored as sugar (aka gluclose). But what are the ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the Sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants use ...

Researchers have applied artificial photosynthesis as the basis for developing new sustainable processes. Artificial photosynthesis may produce syngas for the large-scale chemical industry. A future ...

Today’s homepage features the Google logo morphed to resemble the various components of photosynthesis, including water, sunlight, and the star of the show – chlorophyll.

Photosynthesis can take place in nature even at extremely low light levels. This is the result of a study that investigated the development of Arctic microalgae at the end of the polar night. The ...

Open the Youtube video When humans dream of venturing farther into the cosmos, one massive logistical question looms: how do ...

The animated Google Doodle highlights the importance of photosynthesis, a scientific process through which life sustains on ...

Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate—a biodegradable plastic—is a strong water-resistant polyester often used in packaging materials, made from 3-hydroxybutyrate as a precursor. In previous studies, a research team ...
