However, the relatively low solar-to-biomass energy-conversion efficiencies of natural photosynthesis — about one order of magnitude lower than existing solar-photovoltaic and solar-thermal ...

(a) The process of natural photosynthesis. (b) The process of artificial photosynthesis by decoupling light reaction and dark reaction in this work.

Play this game to see how a seed or a plant is affected by changing how much water, sunlight and carbon dioxide it gets. Photosynthesis happens when light shines on leaves and both water and ...

Researchers often look to photosynthesis—a process that turns sunlight into chemical energy in plants and bacteria—as a model ...

Dependant variable: the number of oxygen bubbles given off (the rate of photosynthesis). Controlled variables: the size of the pondweed, the volume of water used and its temperature. Below are a ...

Scientists design bioinspired hydrogels that mimic plant photosynthesis for clean hydrogen energy production. A new hydrogel ...

Photosynthesis turns sunlight into usable ... coli and combining it with natural pigments and lipids. The research team therefore turned over a new leaf, using cryo-electron microscopy to analyze ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, they found that artificial LHCII closely mirrors the natural version, advancing research into solar energy harnessing and artificial photosynthesis technologies.

National University of Singapore (NUS) chemists have developed hexavalent photocatalytic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) which mimic natural photosynthesis for the production of hydrogen ...

Research on bioinspired hydrogels reveals their potential in artificial photosynthesis, addressing water-splitting challenges ...
