Photosynthesis has evolved in plants for millions of years to turn water, carbon dioxide, and the energy from sunlight into plant biomass and the foods we eat. This process, however, is very ...

Toyota Central R&D Labs is scaling up an efficient system that uses sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce important carbon compounds, paving a path to the practical use of artificial ...

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 ...

Using fossil fuels to produce energy has had a detrimental impact on the planet. Despite pushes for cleaner energy, the power sector is still the top producer of harmful emissions according to the ...

Researchers are embarking on a groundbreaking project to mimic the natural process of photosynthesis using bacteria to deliver electrons to a nanocrystal semiconductor photocatalyst. By leveraging the ...

The world's scientific community has been searching for a way to create limitless energy. From Moon crystals to molecules that violate the laws of physics, the possibilities have been all over the ...

Artificial photosynthesis may be closer than you think. Scientists at the University of Basel have developed a molecule that can store four charges from light, speeding up the quest for carbon-neutral ...

A critical step in reusing CO 2 to produce sustainable fuels is linking carbon atoms together, and researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an artificial photosynthesis system that ...
