In the future, photosynthesis could be replaced with electro-agriculture, a process that is four times more efficient and may ...

Bioengineers propose "electro-agriculture," a method that replaces photosynthesis with a solar-powered reaction converting ...

Importantly, these imported chloroplasts displayed activity for two further days, during which time their host cells grew at an accelerated rate. This indicates that photosynthesis was indeed ...

Diatoms are too small to see with the naked eye, yet they are one of the most productive algae species in the ocean and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Using photosynthesis ...

A novel method for estimating the rate of photosynthesis from land plants reveals that satellite observations—the current gold standard for quantifying terrestrial carbon uptake—underestimate ...
