A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a ...

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

In the study, red algae chloroplasts were placed into cultured hamster cells, which were then analyzed with imaging techniques like confocal and electron microscopy. Photosynthetic activity was ...

Giant clams, some of the largest mollusks on Earth, have long fascinated scientists. These impressive creatures can grow up ...

Their bodies play host to thousands of other organisms. Photosynthetic algae that harvest energy directly from sunlight. And once harvested, it's passed on to the jellyfish to use. The energy ...

Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis. Algae subsumed within plants and some bacteria are also photosynthetic. is the process by which plants make carbohydrates from raw materials ...

This allows the plant to capture and store carbon dioxide until the Sun rises again, offering the light necessary to complete photosynthesis. Algae are widely thought to conduct half of the world ...

Importantly, Provectus Algae uses photosynthetic bioprocesses to transform light and carbon dioxide into critical bioproducts. Their end-to-end biomanufacturing platform, powered by Precision ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

Unlike those other complicated land-based organisms that use photosynthesis, algae don’t need to build any structure to hold themselves up or collect sunlight; it floats. The real goal of the ...

Researchers have built an AA-battery-sized device that ran an ARM device for six months, using photosynthesis as a ... and aluminium enclosure housing an algae called Synechocystis, which they ...
