The new artificial leaf combines flexible solar-powered electrodes with a protective gel coating. It also incorporates an ...

Scientists have developed an artificial leaf that uses sunlight to convert CO₂ into hydrocarbons, offering a sustainable ...

University of Cambridge researchers have designed ultra-thin, leaf-like devices that produce green hydrogen from water splitting. The floating photoelectrochemical devices showed a 0.58% solar ...

A federal judge on Friday declined to block Elon Musk's government cost-cutting department from accessing the U.S. Department of Labor's systems, an initial setback for the government employee ...

The scientists did not formally study the solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency in their demonstration, but they acknowledge that it is modest for this prototype. “Based on the materials ...

A flexible artificial leaf mimics aquatic plants' light-tracking, increasing solar fuel production by up to 866% even at steep angles - without motors or external controls.

These modifications resulted in a ten-fold increase in hydrogen yield compared to unmodified bacteria. The researchers believe that this system could be scaled up to create “artificial leaves ...

(Nanowerk News) Tiny copper ‘nano-flowers’ have been attached to an artificial leaf to produce clean fuels and chemicals ...

In 2015, however, continued improvements led to the ‘artificial leaf’, a one square centimetre ... leading to an excess of hydrogen and decrease in the amount of formate produced.” ...

With artificial photosynthesis ... and nitrogen use light to break water into its constituent parts, oxygen and hydrogen—with hydrogen representing a promising renewable energy source.

developed a practical way to make hydrocarbons—molecules made of carbon and hydrogen—powered solely by the sun. The study builds on the team's earlier work on artificial leaves, which take ...
