The work, published in the journal Plant Physiology, describes a new system called “Stomata In-Sight.” The technology addresses a persistent challenge in plant science by making it possible to track ...

Rothamsted Research scientists are confirming that the long-term application of fertilisers can help to boost soil carbon ...

Organs often have fluid-filled spaces called lumens, which are crucial for organ function and serve as transport and delivery ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, ...

Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

Across cities and suburbs, a curious pattern keeps turning up in aerial photos and field surveys alike: trees that stand ...

First and foremost, we breathe in order to absorb oxygen—but this vital rhythm could also have other functions. Over the past few years, a range of studies have shown that respiration influences ...

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 ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...

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 ...
