Companies have been manufacturing synthetic fuels for nearly a century by combining carbon monoxide (which can be sourced from carbon dioxide) and hydrogen under high temperatures. But the hope is ...

Using an ingenious method inspired by the photosynthesis of living things, scientists have developed a new "artificial leaf" that removes CO2 from the air and turns it into sustainable fuels.

The study builds on previous work on artificial leaves, drawing inspiration from natural photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. We wanted to go beyond basic carbon ...

Nathan Lewis will present about the discovery and development of materials and a system architecture for the direct production of fuels from sunlight. The membrane-embedded microwire array approach is ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new kind of artificial leaf that can track the movement of the sun, much like real ...
