Scientists Reveal "Artificial Leaf" That Turns Carbon Into Sustainable Fuels
Buy-n-Shoot NewsLiving Thing Using an ingenious method inspired by photosynthesis, scientists have developed a new "artificial leaf" that removes CO2 from the air and turns it into sustainable fuels. For years, scientists at various institutions have experimented with the creation of artificial leaves that can absorb light and CO2 in similar ways to the real thing. Now, researchers at the prestigious University of Cambridge and the University of California—Berkeley have designed a system that uses that nature-inspired technology alongside microscopic copper "nanoflowers" to create cleaner hydrocarbons, which like fossil fuels are derived from hydrogen and carbon. In a new paper published […]
