(Nanowerk Spotlight) A transparent leaf bends toward sunlight, its surface gleaming as it splits water into hydrogen and oxygen fuel. This isn't a natural plant—it's an artificial photosynthesis ...

Another innovative feature has been added to the world's first practical "artificial leaf," making the device even more suitable for providing people in developing countries and remote areas with ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The conversion of sunlight into usable energy lies at the center of modern strategies for renewable energy development. Among natural processes, photosynthesis remains the most ...

Many of the problems human engineers face have already been solved by nature, so why not use those as a jumping off point? Making artificial versions of the humble leaf has been an ongoing area of ...
