Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis activity. Breakthrough may lead to sustainable tissue engineering.

Most plants (as well as algae) use chloroplasts to harness the energy of sunlight, which they mix with water and carbon dioxide to produce the carbohydrates they need to grow, releasing oxygen as ...

The process—which occurs in special cellular structures called chloroplasts—uses up water and carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, as well as sugars that can be used by the plant. "All living ...
