Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

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

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

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.

The process was the first-ever in-orbit demonstration of artificial photosynthesis technology. The idea of using semiconductor catalysts differs from other conventional oxygen-producing techniques ...

The 12 experiments carried out at the Tiangong space station focused on key technologies such as the conversion of carbon dioxide at room temperature.
