How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method that ...

Microplastics are now a ubiquitous part of our daily physical reality. These minuscule fragments of degrading plastic now suffuse our air, our soil, the food we eat and the water we drink.

A team of environmental researchers, Earth scientists and pollution specialists at Nanjing University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and colleagues from Germany and the U.S. has found evidence ...

Plants need water to make their own food. This is called photosynthesis. It happens in plant leaves. Plants also need carbon dioxide from air and sunlight to make their food. Slide 1 of 3 ...

A study published in PNAS looks at the potential relationship between microplastic pollution and photosynthesis activity. Prof Richard Lampitt, Research Scientist at the National Oceanography Centre, ...
