Improving natural photosynthesis to make new fuels and boost crop production is the focus of new research. It could see us one step closer to bottling the sun's energy or turbocharging plants to ...

The research collaboration “TaCoCass” (Photosynthetic Efficiency in Cassava through Implementation of a Carbon-Positive Photorespiration Bypass) is investigating how the crop plant cassava captures ...

Today’s homepage features the Google logo morphed to resemble the various components of photosynthesis, including water, sunlight, and the star of the show – chlorophyll. Google rolled out another ...

Australian researchers have created tiny compartments to help supercharge photosynthesis, potentially boosting wheat and rice yields while slashing water and nitrogen use. Researchers from Associate ...

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 ...

Turning sunlight directly into fuel has come closer to reality after scientists developed a molecule that can hold enough energy to mimic the way plants capture light. The discovery addresses one of ...

A-Level results day 2025 is here and students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are all finding out how they did in this year's exams. What's on that sheet of paper is determined by grade ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A level students will be picking up their exam results in Wales and England today (Thursday, August 14). Students will find out ...

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 ...

Microplastics are now a ubiquitous part of our daily physical reality. These minuscule fragments of degrading plastic now suffuse our air, our soil, the food we eat and the water we drink. They’re ...
