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

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...

Genetically altering crops may be key to helping them adapt to extreme temperatures. But shrinking funds and social acceptance stand in the way. By Rebecca Dzombak The world’s bread baskets are ...

A new study co-authored by Dr Tanai Cardona, Reader in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology here at the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, has revealed fresh insights into one of nature’s ...

Crops around the world—including corn, wheat and rice—might suffer from decreased yields as a result of microplastics interfering with photosynthesis, according to a new study. Andy Sacks via Getty ...

Microplastics are now a ubiquitous part of our daily physical reality. These minuscule fragments of degrading plastic now suffuse our air, our soil, the food we eat and the water we drink. They’re ...
