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 ...

The most important chemical equation in the world is the following: carbon dioxide plus water plus energy from sun equals sugar plus oxygen (6 CO2) + (6 H20) + (674 calories) = (C6H1206) + (6 02).

The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet the process of photosynthesis has inefficiencies that limit crop ...
