Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy. However, ...

The work provided a systematic understanding of how nightshade crops, including potatoes and tomatoes, adapt to stressful conditions at the level of entire gene networks, rather than individual genes, ...

An array of 15,000 qubits made from phosphorus and silicon offers an unprecedentedly large platform for simulating quantum ...

Students are using GenAI whether you’ve addressed it or not. Here’s how to provide the clarity they’re asking for ...

Life on Earth has long been understood to run on two main energy sources. One comes from sunlight, captured by photosynthesis. The other comes from chemical reactions, such as microbes feeding on ...

Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing ...

Far below the reach of sunlight, in water cold enough to freeze most life in its tracks, scientists have found oxygen being ...

One New Yorker revealed in an interview that a growing tendency of his peers to show sympathy for criminals was the final straw that pushed him to leave the city. Josh Greenberg, a digital media ...

The findings, published in Scientific Reports, point to a major shift. Generative AI systems have now reached a level where they can outperform the average human on certain creativity measures. At the ...

For decades, Earth’s forests, wetlands and soils quietly mopped up a huge share of the carbon pollution from cars, power ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.
