Artificial photosynthesis is an emerging technology ... In 2015, however, continued improvements led to the ‘artificial leaf’, a one square centimetre electrode device that achieved a ηSTC ...

Nathan Lewis will present about the discovery and development of materials and a system architecture for the direct production of fuels from sunlight. The membrane-embedded microwire array approach is ...

Artificial photosynthesis is attracting much attention amid various efforts to develop renewable energies. One of the problems of solar power is the difficulty of storing electricity. In contrast, ...

Plants use light to generate fuels through photosynthesis—converting energy from the sun into sugar molecules. With artificial photosynthesis, scientists mimic nature and convert light into high ...

With artificial photosynthesis, scientists mimic nature and convert light into high-energy chemicals, in pursuit of sustainable fuels. Carbon nitrides have long been identified as effective ...

Scientists have developed an artificial photosynthesis technology that produces precursors of biodegradable nylon from biomass-derived compounds and ammonia. Nylon, the durable and elastic ...

Researchers have developed a new kind of artificial plant that can generate electricity. The research team from Binghamton University repurposed their study about bacteria-powered biobatteries ...

So, plants harness the energy from the sun to make food. Photosynthesis happens in the leaves of all green plants. Without photosynthesis there would be no oxygen in our atmosphere and life as we ...

Professor Yutaka Amao's team at the Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis previously reported on a method for producing raw materials for biodegradable plastics from biomass-derived compounds.

The team set out with one goal – to find ways to reuse carbon dioxide in a sustainable way, achieved through the design of an artificial plant. In nature, plants feed themselves using photosynthesis, ...
