This desert plant rewired photosynthesis to thrive at 120°F. Its hot secret could help our essential crops survive climate ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen ...

Balanophora plants represent an extreme example of this shift. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis but ...

The study reveals how Balanophora plants function despite abandoning photosynthesis and, in some species, sexual reproduction. Their plastid genomes shrank dramatically in a shared ancestor, yet the ...

The photocatalyst technology that caught the interest of the research team is a type of artificial photosynthesis technology that uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into fuel. It has garnered ...

Before I retired, I taught science to fourth graders in Midland’s gifted and talented program. As a scientist myself, I wanted my students to love science as I knew it: asking and answering questions ...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein is now out on Netflix, with the monster (played by Jacob Elordi) shown to be far more human than his titular creator. The ending of the Netflix film differs from both ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Crops around the world—including corn, wheat and rice—might suffer from decreased yields as a result of microplastics interfering with photosynthesis, according to a new study. Andy Sacks via Getty ...
