An ambitious project to re-engineer photosynthesis in rice, led by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) through a global consortium of scientists, has received a grant of US$11 million ...

Plants have been making fuel and food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide for billions of years. Oil, coal, wood and natural gas can be called “old-photosynthesis” fuels. As the human population ...

Photosynthesis is the starting point for almost every food chain, sustaining most life on Earth. You would be forgiven, then, for thinking nature has perfected the art of turning sunlight into sugar.

Many exciting areas of nanotechnology research are converging on artificial photosynthesis. The connection between the health of our plant and the humans it sustains is now part of a growing field ...

The Rheticus II project combines bioreactor and renewables-powered electrolyser to produce industrial chemicals from carbon dioxide Evonik and Siemens’ joint Rheticus project has entered its second ...

Students will conduct hands-on laboratory research in the field of photosynthesis and plant molecular biology, working with genetically modified plants (Nicotiana tabacum, a well-established model ...
