Lessons to be learned from nature could lead to the development of an artificial version of photosynthesis that would provide us with an absolutely clean and virtually inexhaustible energy source, say ...

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 ...

Steve Nix is a member of the Society of American Foresters and a former forest resources analyst for the state of Alabama. Photosynthesis is an important process that permits plants, including trees, ...
