The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen ...

Trees need sunlight for the same reason you need food. The energy from the Sun’s rays is a crucial ingredient in how plants make their own food that helps them power all their cells. Since trees don’t ...

A Dec. 29, 2022, Facebook post (direct link, archive link) features a photosynthesis diagram, with a plant using light and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and carbohydrates. "Remember science," reads ...

CLAIM: Carbon dioxide is good for crop growth, so efforts to remove it from the atmosphere will destroy the planet. THE FACTS: Excess carbon dioxide does increase growth in some crops, but it also ...

The photocatalyst technology that caught the interest of the research team is a type of artificial photosynthesis technology that uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into fuel. It has garnered ...

A joint research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and collaborators recently developed a stable artificial photocatalytic system that is more efficient than natural photosynthesis. The ...

Earth’s atmosphere contains carbon dioxide, which is good for life on Earth – in moderation. Plants use CO2 as the source of the carbon they build into leaves and wood via photosynthesis. In ...

According to Scientific American, producing one kilogram of concrete releases one kilogram of carbon dioxide into the air. This comes not only from the chemical reactions used to create it, but also ...

A research team recently developed a stable artificial photocatalytic system that is more efficient than natural photosynthesis. The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide ...
