Photosynthesis

River bacteria can break down plant-based carbon, exhaling it as carbon dioxide.

The planet might once have been dominated by microbes that used a molecule other than chlorophyll to harness Sun’s rays.

A mysterious layer of the ocean seems to trap carbon, a new study shows.

Chemical reactions in early Earth's crust may have provided oxygen to ancient microbes.

Here's why grass is green and not blue or purple.

Billions of years ago, a slowdown in Earth's rotation period lengthened days and offered photosynthesizing bacteria the chance to release more oxygen, transforming the planet.

Two species of sacoglossan sea slugs have been found to be able to sever their heads from their bodies and regrow a replacement by researchers in Japan.

If humans had green skin, for instance, what if it granted us the ability to perform photosynthesis, which plants use to live off of sunlight?

By grafting their roots together in a hidden underground network, trees could be forming giant "superorganisms" that span entire forests.

They can turn light into electricity.
