Less than 0.1 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere is carbon dioxide, yet this small amount of gas supports the vital process of ...

Scientists are repurposing their research about bacteria-powered biobatteries into a new idea for artificial plants that can feed off carbon dioxide, give off oxygen and even generate a little power.

A study in Nature finds plants have been absorbing 31 percent more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than previously assumed ...

Researchers had given up on achieving photosynthesis in animals, Professor Sachihiro Matsunaga told Newsweek, but that didn't stop him and his colleagues.

We are living on a planet already hotter and more unstable than at any time in human history. Pretending otherwise will only ...

Oxygen, the molecule that supports intelligent life as we know it, is largely made by plants. Whether underwater or on land, ...

The scientists also suggested that the amount of oxygen created may fluctuate depending on the number and mixture of nodules ...

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 ...
