Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, but it's also a hot spot for trends right now. From the practical (plane mirrors) to the cryptic (stop codons), to the downright weird (insects as food), these trends all tie back to the amazing power of plants to convert light into life. Some trends are practical applications of photosynthesis (like green energy and food transportation), while others delve into the science behind it (like endergonic reactions and transfer RNA). And let's not forget the trends that explore the incredible diversity of the plant world, from parasitic plants to the colorful names of plants. So, whether you're looking for new materials for energy storage or just wondering why plants are so dang cool, photosynthesis has got you covered.
