For the first time, scientists have created animal cells that can harness sunlight for energy—a feat once thought ...

Rather than forcing these schyzon chloroplasts into animal cells, the team added them to a culture that was then fed to Chinese hamster ovary cells. Reporting their findings in a new study ...

Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used chloroplasts from schyzon, a species that thrives in volcanic hot springs ...

Many experts believed it couldn't be done, but researchers in Japan have successfully introduced chloroplasts into hamster cells.

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...
