Researchers have identified photosynthetic structures inside fossils of cyanobacteria that are 1.75 billion years old. The discovery is the oldest evidence of these structures to date, providing clues ...

For the first time, researchers for RIPE (Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency) have proven that multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis increases the yield of a major food crop in field ...

Algae biofuels have been abandoned due to the difficulty in making them economically competitive with crude oil. Scientists have discovered a new process in photosynthesis that can extract electrons ...
