In plants, natural photosynthesis binds carbon dioxide (CO 2) to organic compounds, which can then be converted into glucose or starch. These useful molecules can be sequestered, storing the carbon in ...

Photosynthetic organisms like plants are the ultimate natural solar panels. They are extremely efficient at converting sunlight into stored energy. Researchers working on “bio-inspired” solar ...

Photosynthesis is one of the most important processes on Earth. It is the method by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria prepare their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This ...

Researchers have successfully synthesized fumarate (fumaric acid), a raw material for unsaturated polyester resin, by combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with pyruvate (derived from biomass), using two ...
