At the heart of its solution lies very special microbes — photosynthetic, gram-negative, purple bacteria, such as Rhodovulum sulfidophilum — which have the ability to pull both carbon and ...

A team of researchers has revealed the structure of a modified and evolved version of Photosystem I (PS I), a key protein ...

A team of scientists discovered a naturally occurring gene in the poplar tree that enhances photosynthetic activity and ...

The bacteria could be grown in space, and lend their photosynthesizing talents to supplying power to the hundreds of ...

As populations grow and food supplies become scarce, bacteria that can generate their own food and energy evolve. Many of them use a process known as photosynthesis, converting energy radiated ...

Scientists developed next-generation energy technology to produce eco-friendly hydrogen from ingredients in coffee.

More than 3 billion years ago, on an Earth entirely covered with water, photosynthesis first evolved in ancient bacteria. In ...

Their approach is inspired by the way bacteria and other plants and organisms convert light energy into chemical energy - a ...

Chlorophyll (a naturally occurring pigment involved in photosynthesis)-inspired molecules hold promise for developing next-generation light-harvesting materials. However, achieving precise control ...

Scientists have revealed a new potential way of travelling to Mars using lasers. The technology is inspired by the way plants ...
