In plants, natural photosynthesis binds carbon dioxide (CO 2) to organic compounds, which can then be converted into glucose or starch. These useful molecules can be sequestered, storing the carbon in ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Researchers have successfully synthesized fumarate (fumaric acid), a raw material for unsaturated polyester resin, by combining carbon dioxide (CO2) with pyruvate (derived from biomass), using two ...
