Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO 2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...

While much of the history of life on Earth is written, the opening chapters are murky at best. On our ever-changing world, the older a rock is, the more it has changed, obscuring or even erasing ...

The scientists had their own “aha” moments too. During one visit, Holden’s Juliana Medeiros, Ph.D., lead researcher of the plant physiology lab at Holden Arboretum, tried gathering molten glass from ...

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Caltech have finally solved a decades-old mystery about how photosynthesis really begins. They discovered why energy inside plants flows down ...

The discovery of a stone long overlooked in a German museum suggests that Ice Age communities experimented with vivid hues far earlier than scholars believed. A stone artifact from near the end of the ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have solved a long-standing mystery involving the first steps of photosynthesis, the ...

The group accused Ethiopia’s government of failing to properly investigate the deaths, which took place in the Tigray region. By Eve Sampson and Declan Walsh Reporting from Nairobi Doctors Without ...

Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say. When ...

What if your business planning platform could not only predict the future but also adapt to it in real time? Imagine a system that doesn’t just crunch numbers but actively collaborates with ...

Genetically altering crops may be key to helping them adapt to extreme temperatures. But shrinking funds and social acceptance stand in the way. By Rebecca Dzombak The world’s bread baskets are ...

A research team led by Assistant Professor Shogo Mori and Professor Susumu Saito at Nagoya University has developed a method of artificial photosynthesis that uses sunlight and water to produce energy ...
