Astronauts on China's Tiangong station used artificial photosynthesis to turn CO₂ and water into oxygen and rocket fuel.

To experimentally prove that photosynthesis only occurs in the light. Care must be taken when using boiling ethanol. Make sure that no Bunsen burners are turned on as the ethanol is highly flammable.

China has reached a decisive milestone by achieving the first artificial photosynthesis in space aboard the Tiangong station.

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

Shenzhou-19 astronauts simulate natural photosynthesis, bringing long-haul crewed missions a step closer to reality.
