Attempting to understand the most important chemical reaction on the planet: Photosynthesis
2013-12-17 21:42:50| Extremetech
While there are hopes of one day channeling photosynthetic outputs directly to our needs, many key details of the process, including the actual efficiency, are still incompletely known. Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have just received a big grant to map the molecular events that take place inside one the most complex biological machines known to man -- a group of electron-shuffling proteins known as photosystem II.

Mother Jones: This story first appeared in Slate and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. A gigantic, steaming-hot mound of compost is not the first place most people would search for a solution to climate change, but the hour is getting very late. "The world experienced unprecedented high-impact climate extremes during the 2001-2010 decade," declares a new report from the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization, which added that the decade was "the warmest since the start...

Artificial Forest Nanosystem Mimics Photosynthesis, Researchers Say
2013-05-17 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: U.S. scientists have developed what they say is the first integrated nanosystem capable of replicating the process of photosynthesis, a sort of artificial forest that could one day lead to the production of hydrogen that could be used to power fuel cells. Composed of nanowire structures -- including silicon trunks and titanium oxide branches -- the system mimics the role played by chloroplasts in promoting photosynthesis in green plants. By assembling the trees in a dense array, resembling...
