Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

A study from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) highlights the role of quantum mechanics in photosynthesis, a process ...

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

China has reached a decisive milestone by achieving the first artificial photosynthesis in space aboard the Tiangong station.

Space is the only place where rocket fuel could be more precious than water. The China Manned Space Agency announced last month that taikonauts on the ongoing Shenzhou-19 mission successfully produced ...

New research reveals the hidden role quantum mechanics plays in photosynthesis, opening the door for breakthroughs in clean ...

We describe the general background and the recent advances in research on underwater photosynthesis of leaf segments, whole communities, and plant dominated aquatic ecosystems and present contemporary ...

Astronauts on China's Tiangong station used artificial photosynthesis to turn CO₂ and water into oxygen and rocket fuel.

The 12 experiments carried out at the Tiangong space station focused on key technologies such as the conversion of carbon dioxide at room temperature.

Scientists have developed an artificial leaf that uses sunlight to convert CO₂ into hydrocarbons, offering a sustainable ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.
