If you remember elementary school science, photosynthesis is the process used to create energy by plants. Scientists Daniel Nocera and Pamela Silver from Harvard have created what they call a bionic ...

Speaking at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in California, MIT professor Daniel Nocera claims to have created an artificial leaf, made from stable and inexpensive materials, ...

Boosting energy conversion at the canopy level is crucial for augmenting biomass and crop productivity, with factors like leaf photosynthesis efficiency, canopy architecture, and leaf chlorophyll ...

In Science, it is imperative to connect the dots when trying to solve the world’s greatest challenges. One of these challenges, and where the pieces need to be marred together, is stipulated to be in ...

A team of scientists at Harvard University says it has come up with a bionic leaf — a system that could use solar power and hydrogen-eating bacteria to generate liquid fuel. The findings, described in ...

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 ...

Quantum computers and blades of grass have more in common than you might think. Physicists in the US have shown that electrons involved in photosynthesis reactions "sample" different energy-level ...
