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.

However, creating synthetic systems that work as organically as natural photosynthesis has been a significant challenge until now. Now, researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy ...

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