Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental literacy and ensure that our response to climate change is informed by science.

But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly magical process occurs through a series of precise steps, each of which we'll cover below.

In a recent demonstration, Chinese astronauts operated a series of experiments that produced oxygen and rocket fuel in orbit, mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis. The experiments ...
