Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has ...

Found within their chloroplasts, pyrenoids act as CO₂ concentration chambers, ensuring that Rubisco—a crucial enzyme in photosynthesis—is saturated with carbon dioxide. Rubisco, often called the ...

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African ...

The majority of this work is done by one enzyme: Rubisco, the most abundant enzyme on Earth, responsible for capturing ~100 gigatons of carbon every year. Rubisco is arguably the single most ...
