Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed an ‘artificial leaf’ that uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into ethanol and propanol. These so-called ‘drop-in’ fuels can ...

The leaf is one of nature’s most impressive little machines, able to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy. Scientists at Cambridge have now created a type of artificial leaf that can ...

At Cambridge University, it’s not uncommon to glance at the River Cam and spot a punt boat crammed with students, or perhaps an emerald-headed mallard floating along the water. A more extraordinary ...

Hydrogen can be produced via the electrolytic splitting of water. One option here is the use of photoelectrodes that convert sunlight into voltage for electrolysis in so called photoelectrochemical ...

(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 ...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), with the help of other scientists around the world, have discovered a device that replicates natural ...

In an effort to harness energy from wind and rain, Italian researchers have created an innovative system that can be integrated into plants, according to a report by IEEE Spectrum. This new technology ...

(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 ...

The need for highly localized plant-centric power sources for use literally “in the field.” The details of the construction arrangement used for triboelectric harvesting and energy capture. The amount ...
