A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an interaction not previously documented. The discovery sheds new light on how ...

Cyanobacteria, as they still exist today, were the first organisms to carry out photosynthesis and release oxygen. Produced in primeval oceans about 2.5 billion years ago, this oxygen accumulated in ...

Around 2.3 billion years ago, the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) marked a major turning point in Earth’s history. The increase ...

Around 1.7 billion years ago, eukaryotes—the building blocks of complex life—first appeared on Earth, and now scientists have ...

Liquid nitrogen isn’t exactly an everyday material, but it’s acquired conveniently enough to be used in extreme overclocking experiments, classroom demonstrations, chemistry and physics ...

Nighttime drops in ocean oxygen raise energy use in small reef fish. Repeated stress could affect reef health as oceans warm.

For centuries, it was believed that the production of oxygen relied on one component: photosynthesis (the conversion of light energy into chemical energy). Plants and algae use sunlight to convert ...

Store guacamole or mashed avocado in the same way you would store sliced avocado—in a bowl in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap with an optional squeeze of lime juice. The top layer of the mash ...

"Our job is to understand those solutions well enough to apply them where they're needed most." Researchers uncover strange plants that could change how we produce food: 'Nature has already tested ...
