The new type of catalyst, known as a biohybrid photocatalyst, contains a light-harvesting protein that absorbs light and transfers the energy to a metal-containing catalyst. This catalyst then uses ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Plants use light to make energy – and a team of scientists is using the same principle to power chemical reactions. fhm/Moment via ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Plants absorb sunlight and produce glucose and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide. This is photosynthesis. Scientists have been researching 'artificial photosynthesis' technology to convert carbon ...

Researchers have carried out the first study in which the quantum phenomenon known as "entanglement" has been observed and characterized in a real biological system. Quantum entanglement is thought to ...

About 2.5 billion years ago, a pigment called chlorophyll appeared in single-celled organisms, allowing them to capture energy in the form of light and convert it into sugars. This biochemical trick, ...

While there are hopes of one day channeling photosynthetic outputs directly to our needs, many key details of the process, including the actual efficiency, are still incompletely known. Researchers at ...

A special animated Google Doodle in India on Friday (Nov 14) highlighted the process of photosynthesis, the foundational scientific phenomenon that enables plants to convert light energy, carbon ...
