Photosynthesis. (credit: Petr Pakandl / WikiCommons) “The so-called ‘faint young Sun paradox’ has long been a topic of debate because its resolution bears important ramifications for the basic factors structuring climate regulation and the long-term habitability of Earth and Earth-like exoplanets.” So begins Chris Reinhard’s new paper in Nature. Reinhard is a Principal Investigator at […]

Scientists Are Rewriting the History of Photosynthesis
Studies of the energy-harvesting proteins in primitive cells suggest that key features of photosynthesis might have evolved a billion years earlier than scientists thought. https://media.wired.com/photos/59ea244b58c1497568966908/master/pass/Photosynthesis_2880x1620_W-2880×1620.jpg Feed: All Latest
Researchers create hydrogen fuel with artificial photosynthesis
Scientists all over the world have been attempting to recreate photosynthesis in the lab in hopes of being able to mimic the process to create fuel. Now a team of researchers from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Virginia Tech have figured out the secret behind a man-made molecular system or a […]
