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

Leveraging the expertise of colleagues in materials and device engineering, they designed a new system that captures energy from the sun with solar cells in lieu of photocatalysts.

The solar-powered device can make valuable energy-dense molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For many years, researchers have been working to build devices that can mimic photosynthesis—the ...
