A machine-learning breakthrough could lift the veil on Earth’s early history—and supercharge the search for alien life ...

Scientists see massive potential in the possibility of manipulating or mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis, which could lead to new forms of clean fuel, ways to soak up carbon dioxide or ...

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic organisms can convert the energy in light into the chemical energy for life. And now, thanks to a ...

Using field experiments and mathematical models, we tested whether internal waves enhance photosynthesis as they move phytoplankton through a nonlinear light field in situations where photosynthesis ...
