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.

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 ...

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 ...

They have successfully conducted experiments that mimic photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and rocket fuel ingredients. This development is a major step towards long ...

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.

They have successfully produced oxygen and rocket fuel using artificial photosynthesis. This new method could support future space missions, including China’s planned Moon base. New method for ...
