Scientists may have just cracked the code on one of nature's coolest tricks: photosynthesis. If their breakthrough scales, it could revolutionize the way we power the planet. A team from ...

This is what the stack of four dyes synthesised in Würzburg looks like. It represents a further step towards artificial photosynthesis because it absorbs light energy and transfers it quickly and ...

A hidden pigment helps ocean algae harness sunlight without getting burned—and it may hold clues for better solar tech.

Scientists seeking to develop carbon-neutral fuels using artificial photosynthesis have achieved a massive breakthrough, according to a new study published in Nature Chemistry. Significant technical ...

One distinction between natural photochemistry and artificial photosynthesis is the number of electrons transferred at the same time—the latter relies on multi-electron transfer reactions. Now, a ...

Artificial photosynthesis technology was developed with the addition of the biocatalyst L-alanine dehydrogenase, which combines ammonia with pyruvate to produce L-alanine, to the photoredox system ...

Researchers created a photosynthesis-inspired molecule that uses light to store two positive and two negative charges, aiming to turn sunlight into carbon-neutral fuel. (Nanowerk News) Plants use the ...

Electron transfer processes underpin the quest to develop sustainable energy systems by emulating the natural photosynthetic machinery. Artificial photosynthesis seeks to convert solar energy into ...

Using fossil fuels to produce energy has had a detrimental impact on the planet. Despite pushes for cleaner energy, the power sector is still the top producer of harmful emissions according to the ...

Chinese astronauts claim to have created rocket fuel on board the country’s Tiangong space station using a new process dubbed “artificial photosynthesis.” As the South China Morning Post reports, ...
