In a small manganese oxide cluster, teams from HZB and HU Berlin have discovered a particularly exciting compound: two high ...

During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by ...

During the light, provided the rate of photosynthesis is sufficiently ... is needed for the second stage of reactions and the oxygen is released by the plant as a waste product.

Rising temperatures cause plants to leak more water, reducing their ability to absorb carbon and potentially turning them ...

A project is underway to investigate the production of “dark” oxygen further. Understanding the phenomenon better could help ...

Unlike plants, animals can’t carry out photosynthesis to generate our own oxygen, yet our brains rely on oxygen to make the massive amounts of energy needed to function. In a study published today ...

China's Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the Tiangong space station have created oxygen and ingredients for rocket fuel for the first time with the help of "artificial photosynthesis" technology.

The artificial photosynthesis technology, which has been in development since 2015, converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and rocket fuel ingredients using a simple "drawer-like" apparatus ...
