Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

A research team from the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a new molecule modeled on plant photosynthesis: under the influence of light, it stores two positive and two negative charges ...

(Nanowerk News) Mimicking how plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream for scientists aiming to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that seeks to ...

Despite our best efforts, photovoltaic solar cells are still expensive and only moderately efficient. Plants have been making electrochemical energy from the sun since time immemorial, which has led ...

A key step toward reusing CO2 to make sustainable fuels is chaining carbon atoms together, and an artificial photosynthesis system can bind two of them into hydrocarbons with field-leading performance ...

Bioinspired hydrogels that convert water into hydrogen fuel using sunlight, effectively mimicking natural processes to create a sustainable energy solution. Ishikawa, Japan-- Mimicking how plants ...
