They synthesized materials that could be used in antidepressant and hay fever drugs. Scientists make major energy ...

A new electrochemical device holds potential to directly split carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon and pure oxygen. The team ...

To mitigate global climate change, emissions of the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, must be drastically reduced. A newly ...

While natural photosynthesis relies on hydrogen to convert CO 2 into O 2 and glucose, the new process introduces lithium as ...

close respirationA chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. Photosynthesis is one of the ...

Plants and animals have many similarities when it comes to what they need to survive. Both need water and air. We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing ...

So in photosynthesis, plant cells combine a zap of that energy with carbon dioxide pulled from the air and water. The end products of this chemical reaction are the sugar glucose that plants use ...

Our laboratory views microbes as small "green" factories that can convert simple carbon sources such as CO2, glucose or renewable biomass into bioproducts such as fuels, commodity and specialty ...
