Nearly three-fourths of Earth is covered by oceans, making the planet look like a pale blue dot from space. But Japanese ...

A biohybrid system combines polymer nanosheets with E. coli to improve hydrogen production by capturing near-infrared light ...

Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into energy-containing macromolecules. This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus, gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor, ...

M. Kwak’s team at DGIST uncovered the cause and mechanism behind the transformation of residual cells in abscission zones into epidermal cells - The research findings were published in the prestigious ...

Green oceans on early Earth, shaped by iron, pushed microbes to evolve light-absorbing tools that worked in green light.

Sea slugs, such as Elysia chlorotica, are small marine creatures that produce energy from sunlight - just like plants.

In the waters off Iwo Jima, a volcanic island in Japan’s Satsuma archipelago, the sea has a distinct green tint. It’s not ...
