If you remember elementary school science, photosynthesis is the process used to create energy by plants. Scientists Daniel Nocera and Pamela Silver from Harvard have created what they call a bionic ...

Advances in Horticultural Science, Vol. 6, No. 1 (1992), pp. 23-27 (5 pages) CO₂ assimilation rate (A) of single-shoot potted « Sangiovese » grapevines was measured at intervals during the season on ...

Researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished this feat using a computer model that mimics the process ...

Boosting energy conversion at the canopy level is crucial for augmenting biomass and crop productivity, with factors like leaf photosynthesis efficiency, canopy architecture, and leaf chlorophyll ...

Carbon assimilation rate (A) of greenhouse-grown tomato 'Saladette' was measured following removal of flowers or mature fruit with an open gas exchange system. Fruiting plants exhibited higher A than ...

Speaking at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in California, MIT professor Daniel Nocera claims to have created an artificial leaf, made from stable and inexpensive materials, ...

In Science, it is imperative to connect the dots when trying to solve the world’s greatest challenges. One of these challenges, and where the pieces need to be marred together, is stipulated to be in ...
